Title
"Keeper of the Birds"
Subject
Patch created by Floyd Track, Second Chief of the Wild Tchoupitoulas, 2014
Description
Native American tribes have guardians, protectors, and defenders of the natural and spiritual realms. Those who perform these important organizational, cultural, and religious roles are known as “keepers.” Track designed patches in tribute to the “Keeper of the Earth” and “Keeper of the Birds.” In the former design, a hand holds the earth as water flows into the soil. In the patch shown here, crows flock around the Keeper, a spirit of the sky who lacks a physical body.
