Tatanka: Story of the Bison, Deadwood

Last minute idea to stop. Its small, but has plenty of interesting things to look at. Highly recommend taking the time to watch the video presentation. We were lucky to arrive when an in-person presentation was being delivered. Very interesting. The sculptures are great. So much detail. The video presentation does a good job explaining the creation process.

This was one of the most gorgeous statues I have ever seen. A must see!!! The visitor center had really cool stuff. Kevin Costner, Dances with Wolf's stuff is there. He paid 6 million dollars to have this made. Unbelievable!!!!

I am so glad we went to Tatanka: Story of the Bison. I loved looking at the collection of artifacts, but what I loved even more was the presentation by Mr. J. J. Kent. His talk was so informative and interesting. And his flute playing was divine! The sculptures of the Bison hunt were magnificent. I'll definitely be back!!

Fabulous. Neat link to Kevin Costner, his love of and vision for this location, telling Lakota story. Enjoyed hearing the Native American perspective from a tribe member, JJ Kent. The bison jump sculpture - fabulous. My wife and I learned, enjoyed and will recommend to anyone…everyone…visiting Deadwood.

Wonderful experience. The speaker was very personable and knowledgeable. The exhibits are very interesting. The view from the sculpture is unbelievable.
