content: Mobile phone/cellphone case featuring design originally drawn on the ledger paper used across much of John Pepion's work. The lifeline, or sacred breath of the elk, is represented with an arrow. Made with maple wood with multiple painted wood and abalone veneer inlays - all crafted in Eighth Generation's Seattle studio. It includes a matte black plastic bumper. Artist statement: "This case is a "tribute to the Elk or (Ponoka), which is a great resource for numerous Plains Indian Nations. In addition to being an important food source, the elk is also a sacred animal that even has its own songs in ceremonies."
