Opening The Sacred Bundle - Native America Indians By Howard Terpning

By Howard Terpning

Opening the Sacred Bundle by Howard Terpning

"The sacred medicine bundle was the most holy of holiest among all the Plains People. Stewardship of these bundles was usually vested in a member of a tribal clan or cult, although the power of the bundle was believed to be beneficial to the entire tribe or band. The bundles were opened on specific occasions, and according to precise ritual. Each bundle contained a varied collection of objects and representations of spiritual significance, from animal skins and effigies to ceremonial pipes. Most medicine bundles had been passed down from one keeper to another over such a long span of time that their origins had become shrouded in mystery and myth." (Spirit of the Plains People - Don Hedgpeth).

"Originally this was going to be the focal point of my submissions for the Cowboy Artists' show. But as I working on it, I realized that this image was more important to me than almost any other in recent memory. When it was time to prepare for the exhibition, I decided, with my wife's support, to keep it. It now holds a special place of honor in our living room.

"These four Plains Indians are seated in a tepee around a smoldering fire of sweet grass and sage. The headdress of the figure opening the bundle may be familiar to you. It is the same one worn by the subject of 'Talking Robe,' which is the painting I created to replace this one at the Cowboy Artists' show." ~ Howard Terpning
