| This bolo tie is made from the butt of a moose antler, with deer antler tips. Inset, is an arrowhead carved from pipestone. The arrowhead represents, to the artist, the three greatest Gifts to mankind, which are "Knowledge", "Wisdom" and "Choice," with choice being at the point of the arrowhead. If we balance our Choices, with Knowledge and Wisdom, then our decision will be focused on accomplishment, and will fly straight and true, like an arrow. | |||

| Carved from Moose antler, this design represents a person with a Grizzly Bear Spirit. The Bear was the bringer of many great Gifts, to mankind, and taught the people much about the use of Medicines (Muskiki). The Bear also represents Choice, in that, while it was able to bring great teachings of medicine, it was also capable of great destruction. | |||

| "Eagle in Flight" is carved from a large Moose Antler. The natural shape of the antler lends itself to the image of an Eagle (sacred to Native people) in flight. The eyes of this carving are made of inlaid Buffalo Horn, for the pupil, and surrounded with raw Gold nuggets. | |||
