The Tatanka (Buffalo) is the caretaker of the Oceti Sakowin aka the Great Sioux Nation. The tipi was made from buffalo hides. The tipi symbolizes the values of a home and the connection between heaven and earth. The Native Nation always utilize the 4 colors which symbolize the 4 directions and the 4 races of man. The Canupa (Pipe) is the blood of our people. It is said to believe during the great flood the relatives of the Oceti Sakowin were in that area and as it flooded their bodies went back into Mother Earth. From that was created the red stone which is the blood of the Oceti Sakowin people, the Great Sioux Nation.
