reflections of Blackfoot colour and design | reflections on Stoney colour and design | artistry of the land home page

The circle reminds me of the sun. The green squares remind me of the plants of the forest. The lines remind me of waterfalls and the blue reminds me of the sky.

My classmates thought a chief with one eye would wear this design. The chief was about 60 years old and lost his eye in a war party. The people of the tribe looked up to him and showed him great respect. But I thought it was for a little girl about 5 to 7 years old who likes the sun and the forest and the blue sky.
