Buffalo

In Buffalo, Beverly Brodsky's impressionistic, evocative watercolors and oil paintings highlight her narration of the many roles of this sacred animal in the lives of the Plains Indians. The straightforward text includes song-poems such as this excerpt from a Pawnee song: ""Clouds of dust arise, rolling up from earth,/ Spreading onward; Herds are there./ Speeding on before,/ Going straight where we must journey.""
