Waterbird's Prayer
Teepee ↔ Waterbird
Pair of earrings, French hook ear wires
A two-viewpoint design connecting the Teepee, the gathering place of ceremony, with the Waterbird, associated in many Native American Church traditions with sacred water, healing, prayer, and the coming of dawn.
Story
In many Native American Church traditions, the Teepee is the gathering place of the all-night ceremony, holding the people, fire, medicine, and prayer. The Waterbird is associated with sacred water, healing, blessing, and the movement from darkness toward dawn. As the earring turns, the Teepee grounds the ceremonial space while the Waterbird carries prayer beyond it. Meanings differ among Native communities, families, and ceremonial roads. In clear resin, light passes through the internal structure, making the shift between the two forms especially visible.
