August: Fruit Moon [Ga-lo-ni]
The Wild Potato Clan were the farmers and gatherers of the wild potato plants. Protectors of the earth. This clan was also known as the Bear Clan, Raccoon Clan, and the Blind Savannah Clan. Clan color is Green. Clan Wood is Birch. This was the time of the gatherers would go out and gather the berries and other fruits.
I created this bandolier bag when I lived in California. This bag won Best of Show. My inspiration for this bag was when I was watering my blackberry plant in my back yard, and noticed the beautiful white flower.
The beaded paw print with the Cherokee symbol of the sun is for happiness. Bears love blackberries,I did this bag for the times I picked blackberries with my Grandma.
This bag won Best of Show at the San Bernardino County Fair in Victorville, CA in 2005.
