Symbols
of animals, or the spirit world can be painted
from shields in order to offer their owners
spiritual protection both in war and in their
daily lives. They can be crafted onto shields.
Thunderbirds or related symbols such as
hailstones, lightning or the crescent moon, and
Bears, Buffalo, Watermonsters, and other kinds of
powerful animals were also powerfully symbols.
Most symbols and designs represent specific ideas
or cultural expressions.
Not every tribe used these same examples. Tribes
used their own colors for designs and symbols
depending on their location and availability of
various plants and minerals used to make paints.
As deeply spiritual people and highly evolved
society, they communicated their thoughts, ideas
and dreams from generation to generation through
symbols. |
