"The wind gave our children the spirit of life." -- Chief Seattle
To the Native American Tribes, the wind is a life force with a spirit of its own. It carries a sacred message as it travels through the land. Only the medicine men, shamans, and wise spiritual leaders were able to interpret the messages, but all felt the movement of the wind.
The Diamond is the symbol that represents the wind. It is equal on all four sides symbolizing the importance of the four directions.
This cuff incorporates to four sacred colors with the wind symbol. It can be made in to a cuff (with the optional tutorial) or worn as a beaded band by adding a clasp.
