“People have their own clans. Blackdeers have the deer clan. I’m with the eagle, the thunderbird clan. We go by these things; the clans have their own colors. … But it’s not for me to tell them, although I know. I think that’s up to the individual to do. I didn’t know my colors, so I took some tobacco and a Pendleton [blanket] and took them to one of our clan leaders and asked them what my colors were…. That’s traditionally what you do.”
