Plains Creatures

Plains materials follow grassland migrations, river corridors, and later equestrian lifeways. Narratives are tied to vision seeking, camp movements, and ceremonial alliances among nations. Sources include oral histories, winter counts, and ethnography, supported by maps and photographic archives. Cards provide transliterations and note the impact of reservation periods and language change on spellings. Themes include responsibility to animals, courage and generosity, and star knowledge that guides travel. Use tiles to browse by river basin, season, or ceremonial setting, then open entries for sources and iconography.
