(The world’s “First” supplier of quality tanned Bison Hides)

A RARE FIND, “Tatanka” (Indian culture), “Les Boefs” (French culture) and “Buffalo” (American Cowboy)or “BISON” (scientific name) is indigenous to the North American Continent and was nearly exterminated from the 1830's through the 1880's. Dense herds numbering in the thousands or millions once roamed the plains of North America. Current estimates indicate that there are only 250,000 alive today and 95% of these are found on private ranches which are raised for breeding stock, meat and by-products..

Prior cultures relied on the BISON for all of their basic needs and the near extermination of the animal forced societies to rely on alternative leather for their domestic needs. The BISON, or Buffalo, has long been a symbol of the AMERICAN WEST, a symbol representing power, freedom and spirituality.

The availability of a Bison hide is very limited and the proper preserving and tanning of the hide is a lost art. North American Bison Company set out on a path to understand and to preserve the high quality of the Bison Hide with its unique and beautiful natural characteristics.

The Bison, or THE QUIET MASTER , has lost its prominence in the history of our planet and its place among the animals of the wild. It is our dream to once again preserve the eloquence and spirituality of this magnificent animal and to share its beauty with other generations to come.
