TRW047(P) – Running Buffalo
The name Running Buffalo evokes the deep spiritual and cultural connection between the Plains Indigenous peoples and the great buffalo herds that once covered the North American prairies. For tribes such as the Lakota, Cheyenne, Blackfoot and Crow, the buffalo was far more than a source of food. Every part of the animal was used for survival—its hides became clothing and shelter, its bones and horns were fashioned into tools, and its presence formed the foundation of the social, economic and spiritual life of the Plains peoples. The buffalo came to symbolise strength, endurance and abundance, and many Native American names reflected these qualities and the close relationship between people and nature.
While there are limited historical records identifying a specific nineteenth-century leader known as Running Buffalo, the figure represents the proud warrior traditions of the Plains tribes during an era of immense change and conflict. The courage, horsemanship and independence of these warriors became legendary during the American Indian Wars and remain an enduring part of North American history.
The Military Workshop's TRW047(P) – Running Buffalo beautifully portrays a Plains warrior whose name embodies the spirit and power of the buffalo. Rich in historical character and finely detailed, this figure captures the dignity and resilience of the Indigenous peoples of the American frontier.
An exceptional addition to any collection, this model celebrates the traditions, heritage and enduring legacy of the Native American peoples of the Great Plains.
Proudly wearing a buffalo head dress (complete with horns) this running Sioux brave carries his war shield, club and a U.S. Army revolver.
