Native Artist Creations Teepee – A Tribute to Blackfeet Tradition
Designed and hand-painted by Dale Rae Samples, a Blackfeet descendant from Montana, this authentic teepee is inspired by the traditional painted lodges of the Blackfeet Nation. Every element tells a story, honoring the spirit helpers, ancestral wisdom, and the natural world.
The animal symbols—available in coyotes, bison, cougars, horses, or bears—represent spiritual guidance and strength. Above them, a bold color band carries deep meaning:
- Turquoise symbolizes the heavens
- Black represents bravery
- Red honors the blood of ancestors
- Orange reflects Dale’s artistic spirit
- Yellow embodies the power of the Creator
At the top of the teepee, the Four Directions symbol connects these elements, while intricate smoke flap designs depict the Seven Brothers & Little Sister constellation in the northern sky and the Bunched Stars (Lost Children) towards the south.
This teepee is more than a shelter—it’s a living canvas of heritage, storytelling, and artistic mastery.
