A Native American rider, clad in traditional attire and armed with a long spear, leans forward on a galloping horse as he closes in on a massive bison charging through tall grass. In the background, other hunters and scattered bison herds suggest a communal hunt, emphasizing the cultural and subsistence importance of the buffalo to Plains tribes.
