About Story of the Bison
You're invited to relive the period of history prior to Hickock by Kevin Costner. Ta'Tanka focuses on the symbiotic relationship between the Lakota Nation and the North American Plains Bison and was inspired by the author's time spent with the Lakota People. Story of the Bison museum chronicles the tenacity, rebirth, and perseverance of not only an animal, but also a people, from their beginnings at Wind Cave through the eradication of the bison and into the present. Story of the Bison gift shop focuses on products manufactured locally, by Native Americans, and by Lakota people. Check out their unique jewelry and paintings. Their made-especially-for-Ta'Tanka chokecherry items and regional South Dakota wines are wonderful keepsakes from the state.
