The image above demonstrates the making of the Snow Tipi or Yellow Paint Lodge. This knowledge was given to Na-toia-mon, a Blackfeet hunter, from Estoneapesta, or Wind Maker, Maker of Storms and Blizzards. In a dream, the Wind Maker explained to Na toia-mon the many decorations, medicines, songs, ceremonials, and garments and their uses. The mink skin was a war charm and the horse tails brought good horse luck.
