In this image, three members of the Crow tribe are seen offering a piece of bison meat to the Guardian Spirit, who was a supernatural teacher, frequently depicted in animal form. The Guardian Spirit would guide the people of the Crow tribe through every important event in their life. This symbolic image demonstrates how everything in Crow culture stemmed from the bison and just how important the bison was to the Crow, this can be concluded from this image as it shows that the bison was important enough to the crow to be sacrificed to the Guardian spirit, who was their guide in life. Bison was one of the main sources of food for the Crow which made it extremely valuable to the people of the Crow tribe. The Crows were a nomadic tribe, and they would follow herds of bison. Wherever the herds would go, the Crow would follow. This once again demonstrates the impact the bison had on the lives of the Crow.
The Crow flag was interesting, but I wonder if there is more significance to it, since there isn't that much information about it. Would love to learn more. Overall, pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI like the visuals (pictures) and the information is very well put together. 9 bench presses out of 10.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to read about the symbolism and spirituality, since there was not much about this with my tribe. Nice job Franklin!
ReplyDeleteI really like the placement of your dots. I was wondering if this picture represents a spiritual ritual or something else. I personally think this deserves 7 reps of 1000 bicep curls, bravo!
