Rocky has been through the ceremony for the right to paint on buffalo skulls. The buffalo was the most important animal on the prairies, shaping the history of the plains people. A gift of life from the Creator - providing food, clothing, shelter and tools. On the Medicine Wheel the Buffalo represents the North - Wisdom, Renewal and Knowledge. A Buffalo Skull is considered to be great medicine and symbolizes the message power of the Buffalo. The Buffalo and spirit of the Buffalo were all important and life itself. Today a Buffalo Skull is still a powerful reminder of the open prairies and the way of life of a people in harmony with the land.
