Big Medicine:
The rare white bison occurs only once in every 10 million births. In 1933, a white buffalo was born in the wild on Montana's Flathead Indian Reservation and was called "Big Medicine" to reflect his sacred power. Many Native American tribes consider the return of the White Buffalo the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy and the beginning of a new era for the peoples and Mother Earth. The seven bison on this blanket represent the seven directions: North, South, East, West, Above, Below and Within. Together they symbolize wholeness for mankind and the earth. Prayer pipes signify mankind's communication with the Creator. In the center of the blanket, within the circle of life, are four hands representing the diverse peoples of the world and a new beginning.
Four Corners:
Located on the Colorado Plateau, a bronze disk marks Four Corners, the only point in the United States shared by four states (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah). The spot also marks the boundary of the Navajo Nation and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe Reservation. The historic location inspired this blanket design, featuring repeated intersections in a traditional nine-element pattern.
