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

I chose the green because it reminded me of grass or land. The blue reminded me of some water or a lake. I chose to do this design because I wanted it to look like a bow going to shoot an arrow.

I think the person who would wear this design is a teenager who has been on a Vision Quest and a raid. I think this because the pattern of the arrows make him look like he could shoot with great accuracy. Members of his tribe would consider him just a normal warrior like the rest and would treat him with as much respect as all of the other warriors. Everyone has to learn how to shoot with accuracy if you want to be a warrior.
