Tatanka: Story of the Bison is an interpretive site outside Deadwood centred on the history of bison and Plains culture. Its most visible feature is a large bronze sculpture group of bison and riders, set in the Black Hills landscape.
The site broadens a Deadwood visit beyond saloons, gold-rush stories, and Wild West performance. It is strongest for travellers interested in the wider Plains history surrounding the town, especially when paired with other Black Hills cultural and natural stops.
