Osage Buffalo Sculpture Unveiled | Tulsa News
Description
A towering 12-foot buffalo sculpture by Osage artist John Free has debuted in Tulsa, marking his largest work ever and celebrating the sacred role of the buffalo in Native American culture. Created with family help and crafted from steel and mesh over two months, it’s more than art—it’s a cultural statement and a tribute to Osage heritage. Osage Casinos commissioned the piece not just as a landmark, but as a platform for Indigenous artists, with Free’s work already featured inside the casino. As a second-generation Osage artist, Free honors his legacy and community through this powerful, pride-filled creation that invites admiration and reflection.
