EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Wall of Buffalo Skulls" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a significant chapter in history. The image showcases an engraving by an English School artist, depicting a massive wall constructed entirely out of buffalo skulls. This hauntingly beautiful piece is part of a private collection and was originally featured in The Picture Magazine in 1893. The artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the impact that European settlers had on North American indigenous communities during the expansion of the Canadian railway. As settlers moved westward, they hunted buffalos indiscriminately for their hides and left behind countless carcasses. These buffalo skulls were then piled up and erected into walls, symbolizing both triumph over nature and disregard for its delicate balance. The presence of these buffalo skulls not only represents the decimation of this majestic animal but also signifies the loss suffered by Native American tribes who relied heavily on them for sustenance and cultural significance. It stands as a testament to the complex relationship between humans and nature throughout history. Through this evocative photograph, we are transported to Regina's past where bones tell stories that words cannot fully capture. It invites us to reflect upon our own responsibility towards preserving our environment while honoring those who came before us.
