We give thanks to our southern Grandfather. It is evening, the change of life in midagedness. It is change like the leaves or the hair on our heads from natural colors to the likes of natural frost. West is the time of full maturity. It is the time of insight.
Deer symbolizes to our people love.
We give thanks to our western Grandfather. The upper arc, pointed toward the north has a white background and features a black bear with white highlights and bordered in red. It is a time of wisdom, so much like the answers found in our dreams. Bear is representative of all medicine powers in creation. Claws dig medicine roots.
