JOHN CLYMER MUSEUM COLLECTION

PISHKUN

Edition of 11  $35,000  68X23 in walnut, oak, or cherry stand

Originally commissioned for The Museum of Native American Cultures as an edition. The edition is open for sale.

  Pishkun is the Indian name for a buffalo jump where Indians would run buffalo, or more properly bison, over a cliff. The cliff on this jump is modeled after a frequently used one in Montana. The Indian on the bluff is the decoy who would cover himself with a buffalo robe and stay on the fringe of the herd. His part would be to lead or decoy the herd toward the cliff while others in the tribe would prepare to stampede the herd over the cliff. The decoy would rush to the cliff and duck to safety while the press of the stampeding herd would force the lead bison over the cliff. The Indian women would be waiting at the bottom to dispatch wounded bison and start dressing them into food, clothing, shelter materials, sinew for sewing, and the other things the bison provided.
