Native American Bow Bags
Description: Charles (CM) Russell, the “cowboy artist”, created more than 2,000 paintings of cowboys, Indians, and landscapes set in the Western United States. He lived and worked among the cowboys and the Blood Indian tribe in his younger years. This painting is called “Indian Buffalo Hunt” and depicts an Indian hunting party on horseback sneaking up on a herd of buffalo.
Description: The Great Seal of the Choctaw Nation features a bow with three arrows along with a smoking tomahawk-pipe. The arrows represent three great chiefs: Apuckshunnubbee, Pushmataha, and Mosholatubbee. The peace pipe represents the peaceful nature of the tribe while the bow represents their willingness to fight when attacked or threatened.
