Coyote teeth carry the medicine of skillfully moving through lands and situations, bearing our teeth when needed, protecting all that we care for. Coyotes and wolves have taught us how to work together, pack mentality. Even amongst ourselves, situations call for us to bear our teeth at each other. In order to keep things in line, to move together efficiently. With a clear mind and good intentions in our hearts, we call on coyote teeth as medicine and guidance. May we know when and where to call on these reflections.
Despite not being native to our lands, cattle have given us their whole selves, from skin to bone, nourishing and caring for us. Our people depend on cattle and have formed strong connections to these animals. We honor their giving nature by carrying and acknowledging their lives as more than just sustenance, but as relatives. Their forced movement into the Americas mirrors our forced migration into other lands.

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.
