dc.description The eighth American Indian Heritage Month Poster. The picture is representative of the Northern Plains tribes and way of life. The Buffalo, the great Tatanka, was the mainstay of the life providing food, clothing, shelter and tools. The tipi representing the family always faced east to greet the morning sun. The colors of the feathers depict the four directions: white for South, yellow for East, red for North, and black for West. The first symbol seen within the eye of the feather is the Sun. The second is Devils Tower. Continuing in order are the Medicine Wheel, Bear Butte, Honored Warhorse, the Teton Mountains and at the eye of the last feather is the Cheyenne Morning Star. This completes the circle of life. The past, present, and will guide the tribes of the Northern Plains into the future. Designed by Sandy Swallow-Morgan, Oglala Lakota/Northern Cheyenne currently resides in Spearfish, SD. Sandy, a great-grandaughter to participants of the 1868 Ft. Laramie Treaties, incorporates her heritage and love of the Northern Plains into her artwork. Distributed by South Dakota American Indian Heritage Month is sponsored by the USDA, Soil Conservation Service, in association with the Ohio Valley RC&D Council and the USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service. en_US
