I celebrated the recent Columbus day by sculpting a buffalo. A buffalo? A buffalo. Buffaloes are a great metaphor. Before Columbus arrived, Native Americans hunted buffaloes nomadically. When they killed the buffaloes, they used every single part. When Columbus arrived and white people invaded North America, they started hunting the buffaloes by the masses with guns. They would skin them only, and leave the carcasses to rot on the ground. They took advantage of an important sources of food for the Native Americans.
