The Crow Tipi
by Judy Larson
When artist Judy Larson came across the Blackfeet Indian legend
of The Crow Tipi, she was enthralled with the various
elements of the story and how they might come together in a painting.
In the legend, there was a brave warrior who stole horses and guns
for his tribe.The head chief of the tribe became jealous of
the warrior’s success and glory and used witchcraft to bring
bad luck to the man. Three times the brave man rode out to battle,
and three times he returned on foot, because his horses had run
away.
As the warrior lay sleeping after returning home from a raid, he
dreamt that a man came to him and said,“You should not have
had to walk home alone these nights. I see you have given a share
of the meat from a buffalo you killed to my children, the crows.
For your kindness I will give you two things: the power to
become a chief of your tribe and my own specially painted tipi,
The Crow Tipi. Go a little way from here, and you will find
horses. ”The warrior became chief of the Buffalo Dung band
and the Crow Tipi remains in his tribe to this day.

The Alphas
by Judy Larson
Truly a family unit, a wolf pack is almost always composed of an
alpha male, his alpha female mate and their offspring. During mating
season, both the alpha male and female will fight to prevent others
from breeding with their partner. Their monogamous relationship
prevails until death, illness or injury prevents them from mating,
or until one is ostracized from the pack. Courtship between the
pair is playful, affectionate and devoted. After the annual mating,
the alpha female will select a suitable site for her den near water,
which the nursing mother will need. She prefers a wooded area to
aid concealment, and the same location may be used throughout her
breeding life, and perhaps, by successive alpha females within the
same pack. Preparations on the den begin about six weeks after conception,
three weeks before her
pups are born. And so, the cycle of life endures, through the alliance,
friendship, bond and cooperation of The Alphas.
