Animal Track Scenes
Hunters and gatherers, the peoples of nomadic nations in the plains and forests of central North America, knew all the animals by the prints of their tracks. These designs feature animals in their natural setting, framed in the shape of the animal's track. Track scene designs are perfect for
outdoorsy sweatshirts, jackets, and backpacks.

A sunset scene on the plains, framed in the track of the buffalo, a majestic animal that once roamed
the open plains in great numbers. The Great Plains Indians revered the creature as the ultimate
provider, because a buffalo gave them both food and the means to make clothing and shelter.

Available in two sizes:
4.81"X9.40" and 3.52"X6.85"

The grizzly bear, a common sight to the early peoples of the First Nation, roamed throughout the
plains and foothills throughout North America. By the early 1800s, it was thought that 100,000 grizzly bears still inhabited vast territory west of the Mississippi River, but by 1970, fewer than 1,000 remained. Framed here in a Grizzly track is a mother bear and her cubs in a mountain stream. It is easy to see why the bear symbolized power, strength, and protection in Native American cultures.

Available in two sizes:
5.85"X9.09" and 4.39"X6.85"

In the 15th century, Spaniards reintroduced horses to the Americas. Some escaped into the wild, and their increasing numbers became a great boon to the Native Americans. Domesticating these horses allowed them to better capture game, as well as travel greater distances, expanding their territories and engaging in trade. This scene of a hunter surveying bison below is framed in the track of the horse.

Available in two sizes:
5.85"X6.23" and 4.85"X5.17"

The Spirit Wolf
Wolves were considered to be very powerful spirits of the earth and messengers from the Great Spirit. Early hunters learned much from watching wolves -- the principles of working and hunting together, loyalty to family, and sharing -- are woven into the oral traditions of many native cultures. The medicine men believed the wolf to be the representative of great spiritual and protective forces.

This design features a pack of wolves, and the spirit of an Indian hunter emerging in the misty clouds.

Indian Maiden and the Legend of the Butterflies

Butterflies are found in the art and legends of many native cultures. A Papago legend tells how the Great Spirit created butterflies as a gift to the children. Gathering all the most vivid colors -- black from a maiden's hair, yellow from the sun, and blues from the lakes and sky -- he put them in a bag. When the children opened the bag, colored butterflies flew out. Beautiful, but silent (lest the song birds of the world become envious), butterflies became the guardians of secrets.

So the story continues to this day: if you capture a butterfly and whisper your heart's desire to it, they fly to the heavens to tell their Creator, who will answer your prayers. Today, butterfly releases are an ecological way to celebrate weddings, taking the couple's prayers for eternal love to the heavens.

Thunderbird Medley Handsome designs are inspired by the legendary carvings and art of the ancestral clans who inhabit the Pacific Northwest coastline. The Thunderbird art is crafted for embroidered shapes -- square, oval, circle, rectangle -- and a border design for framing or accents. It's a "wow" feature for totes, sweatshirts, jackets and other garments, but equally dashing for quilts, and table decor like trivets and table runners. The Thunderbird, a great bird with a hooked beak and vast wingspan, appears in the legends and lore of many Native American nations. Nowhere, however, is he more colorful or important than in the native art of the Pacific Northwest. All-powerful, he is the creature who creates storms. Lightning flashes from his blinking eyes, and thunder roars from his flapping wings. As frightening as he is, the Thunderbird of Northwest legend is also protective and benevolent.
