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

I choose black and orange for my colors because they are powerful colors. I choose a triangle for my shape because it reminds me of a spear and the red diamonds remind me of the horses that were stolen.

My classmates thought this design was for a warrior who was 30 years old. They thought that he was a nice and good warrior. Others, especially the younger members of the tribe looked up to him. My classmates saw something different in my design than I did. They thought that my design was tipis and buffalo horns. To me it was a spear. It is all what you see.
