Hey friends!

I recently watched a documentary on the American Bison which people often mistakenly refer to as a buffalo. Buffalo are actually a completely different species with larger horns, shorter fur, smaller heads and don't even reside on this continent. I was really inspired to paint a bison after learning their history. I was unaware that there were once 30 60 million bison roaming the plains of the United States and Canada. That was until the 1800's when the west was under European conquest that the extermination of the bison began. Between 1800 and 1889 bison were hunted to the brink of extinction with the population dwindling down to less than 1000 individual animals. This was of course mainly to cut off the food supply of the plains tribes and push them off of their land. Not only was the bison a source of food for the tribes, but bison also provided hides for warmth and shelter, and bones for tools.
The American Bison has made a comeback though. And their numbers have grown substantially although nowhere near the tens of millions.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the video! I was unable to do a voice over because I fell ill. I hope the titles and video were somewhat effective at explaining what I was doing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave them in the comments!
