They say the bison was born with the land’s heartbeat —
His spirit carved by the winds, his presence woven in the stars.
Not a creature of the earth alone, but a part of the sky,
A symbol of endurance, carrying the soul of the People.
He walks beneath the stars, the rhythm of his hooves
Telling stories of ancestors and the sacred cycle of life.
Every step is a prayer to the land, to the water, to the fire.
Every movement is a blessing for the generations to come.
His body, painted with the symbols of the earth,
Carries the wisdom of the elders, the songs of survival.
The markings are not just decoration —
They are maps of the sacred journey he has walked.
In the stillness of the night, when the moon shines bright,
He appears, a guardian of the earth’s memory.
He reminds us that we are connected to all things —
To the mountains, to the rivers, to the beating heart of the land.
And when the bison roams —
You will know that the spirit of the earth is with you,
Guiding you through the dance of life.
They call him Mahpiya WíiyayA,
The One Who Walks Between Worlds.
