17” X 11” Francis Paul/Okima Kishik unframed print. Titled Buffalo Clan Boy. "The Creator gave the Earth's Original people, through the great prophet and teacher Indodaim, the O-do-i-dayn-iwan (the Clan system). The Great Law of Clans had been given to the people as a way of sacred knowledge and order - a system that became a framework of government, for the unity, strength and social order of Nation. This clan system became the way in which people could and did maintain individual and collective identity without separation from the village, tribe, or the Nation. The Clan system was a complete democracy in its purpose, intent and meaning. Through the Clan was given the right and voice to the People. in the clan system was the right and voice for women, children, young and old, and the unborn. As many duties and responsibilities as may be embrace might produce a leader - man or woman. These persons were called Ogimaw, or leader, and later Chief. In the clan system, with its leadership and representation of all the people, lay the basis of Anishinaabe democracy, law, truth, peace, brotherhood, honor strength, unity and social order. This boy is from the Buffalo Clan which is a sub clan of the Hoof Clan. These people are seen as the reconcilers and the pursuers of wellbeing. It is said the member of this clan are also noted for their ability in artwork, paintings, excellent in writing and reciting poetry and great lovers for developing and listening to music. As reconcilers, the people are well adapted to listen to our problems and assist in finding solutions. The hoofed animals are a gentle animal and are very peaceful in their ways. If you could take the time to study and learn about the four legged hoof kind you would find them somewhat keeping to themselves, almost shy and when confronted will simply bound away. It seems the people of this clan have these same traits. They're not violent and they'll try to remain out of the way. They prefer to work behind the scenes rather than the limelight or out front. Because of their somewhat shyness these people have taken their time alone to develop a keen sense of art, poetry and music. They have refined these arts to what they really are, and for everyone to enjoy at their leisure and convenience. The colours of this clan are Brown and Black."
