Logo "Buffalo Nations", Artist: Richard Red Owl

Our logo represents all Indian nations of South Dakota. The Northern Plains Indians are the buffalo nation. The painting shows four buffalo of different color, representing the four directions of the earth. The sacred Black Hills to the Great Plains are our homeland. We offer our homes to travelers in our nation to educate and share our rich history.

The Sun at the top of the painting represents ATTA as an entity of the Nation that will be long lasting and can be counted on just the sun itself. The 12 months of the year indicated by the 12 moons at the bottom is a statement that ATTA is a year round operation.

The Red Road indicated ATTA’s intentions as pure and respectful. Respecting Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants, our culture, homeland, history, and people in all tourism ventures.
