    Portions of this sale are sent to my tribe and various communities I am involved with. I also donated items to various prisons to help fund their Native American programs and help those who can not help themselves. Inedible meat is donated to zoos and local raptor rehab facilities.  I also carry real wolf, mountain lion and bear items on my direct website but they're not allowed for sale through this venue.

    This turtle shell is made from a NON-ENDANGERED SPECIES known as snapping turtle It has been hand made into a bag to take to pow wows and other reenactment events or even for daily use.
    Each turtle is hand coated with a glossy finish to bring out the natural pattern of the animal.  As a Native American I do not support trophy hunting nor do I support waste. Turtle stands for mother earth it is a woman's medicine that keeps us connected turtle is very sacred for no matter where it goes it remembers where it comes from: its home, its roots. Just like our people today though we are of many nations we all came from the Earth.
