Tatanka: Story of the Bison in Deadwood, SD, invites visitors to explore the profound connection between the Lakota Nation and the North American Plains Bison, inspired by Kevin Costner's experiences while filming Dances with Wolves. The museum features the third-largest bronze sculpture in the world, showcasing a stunning representation of the traditional bison jump hunting technique with 14 bison and three Lakota riders.
Through its exhibits, Tatanka chronicles the journey of the bison from its origins to near extinction and the resilience of the cultures connected to it. The gift shop offers unique Lakota-made and Native American products, as well as local South Dakota wines and specialty chokecherry items, allowing visitors to take a piece of this rich heritage home with them.
