It’s pretty cool to pick up a magazine & see people you know…
The cover of Native Peoples....
Islander Doug Bison has been creating incredible bronze sculptures that honor his Native American heritage for decades, so it makes sense for Native Peoples to do a spread on him. These are scans from the article written by Richard Walker (who has a Native heritage as well) that Doug sent over – click here to read the article.
Doug’s background reaches back to his grandfather Little Bison, son of Big Foot, the chief killed at Wounded Knee, but lives on in his work today. Drop by Bison Gallery on First Street (where the Garuda & I used to be) and say hey!

I have written about Chief Liyyle Bison and his exploits to move 8,000 Sioux to South America.
See DakotaYesterdays blog.
Could you e-mail me any information on Littel Bison and his offspring?
Help please
