The Tatanka Foundation in Deadwood, SD is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the history and culture of the Lakota Sioux tribe. The foundation was established by actor Kevin Costner, who is known for his role in the film "Dances with Wolves" which depicts the relationship between the Lakota people and white settlers in the 19th century.

The foundation's main attraction is the Tatanka: Story of the Bison exhibit, which features larger-than-life bronze sculptures depicting a buffalo jump, a Native American village, and a Lakota medicine wheel. The exhibit provides visitors with an immersive experience that educates them about the importance of the bison to the Lakota people and the impact of their near-extinction.

In addition to the exhibit, the Tatanka Foundation also offers educational programs, cultural events, and workshops that aim to preserve and share the traditions of the Lakota Sioux tribe. The foundation's mission is to honor the past, celebrate the present, and inspire future generations to learn about and respect the history and culture of the Lakota people.
