aged buffalo teeth with red and brown buffalo bone beads. buffalo teeth hold their history — the diet, the climate, the lands they roamed in. their teeth sustain them as they slowly graze throughout the americas and are a source of strength alongside their horns, making them fierce and patient protectors. we wear them as a reminder to calmly and steadily navigate our spiritual, mental, and physical terrains for the sake of our loved ones. this ancestor reminds us of our responsibility to our herd and how to be a reliable leader for our communities.

the number 3 represents the past, present, future. ancestors, our current selves, and our children. a reminder that we are more than just a singular moment of time or being. we honor all that has come before us, all that we are now, and all who will come.
the number 4 represents the four elements and the four directions. a reminder that we are the center and the surroundings that make this reality, all at once. we are surrounded, guided, and molded by unseen forces.
the number 7 is a reminder that our conduct and choices will affect the next 7 generations directly. we are a product of the 7 generations before us, and our work directly impacts those ancestral energies as well.
materials: buffalo teeth, red and brown round buffalo bone beads, brown tube buffalo bone beads, deerskin lace, and sinew.
made with care by us.
