From the Black Hills of South Dakota’s Tipi Canyon, this Fairburn Agate extraordinaire, becomes the stage for the Lakota Emergence Story. From within the caverns of Wind Cave, the Tatanka Oyate (Nation) emerged and again was transformed to be become the Lakota Oyate. Representing the spiritual traditions of the Lakota people, the seven gold balls exemplify the circularity and sacredness of each of the seven spiritual rites the Lakota people still live by. Melding in unity, the Silver White Buffalo, seven gold stones and a piece of the Black Hills provides the spirit of unity JhonDuane Goes In Center, the artist wanted to convey.
