Slow Bull was a respected Oglala Sioux subchief who joined his first war party at the age of 14. At the age of 17 he captured 170 horses from the Apsaroke. That same year he received medicine from buffalo in a dream as he slept on a hilltop—not fasting or meditating, but resting from hard travel on the warpath. Over the course of his storied lifetime he engaged in 55 battles with rival tribes, and his distinctive features can be seen in the shoulder of Judy Larson’s bull buffalo.
“I personally ‘met’ this bull buffalo in the middle of a thunderstorm, roaming wild with three hundred other buffalo on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in Montana," Judy relates. "Some of the oldest buffalo were nearing 35 years of age and most of the old bulls stayed by themselves, but this seasoned veteran had come to join the herd as rutting season began. He was massive, awesome, and highly respected by his younger competitors."
