The elk is one of the largest land mammals in North America. Petroglyphs of elk were carved into cliffs thousands of years ago by the Anasazi of the southwestern U.S. More recent Native American tribes, including the Cree Blackfeet, Ojibwas and Pawnee produced blankets and robes from elk hides. But the elk was of particular importance to the Lakota and played a spiritual role in their society. The elk was seen as having strong sexual potency and young Lakota males who had dreamed of elk would have an image of the mythical representation of the elk on their “courting coats” as a sign of sexual prowess. The Lakota believed that the spiritual elk, not the physical one, was the teacher of men and the embodiment of strength, sexual prowess and courage.
