*** About Elks and Teepees: Elks, or wapiti, are among the largest species in the deer family and are known for their massive antlers and distinctive bugling calls during mating seasons. Native to North America and East Asia, these majestic animals play a crucial role in ecosystem dynamics by affecting plant growth and predator-prey relationships. The teepees (or tipis) depicted symbolize the ingenious shelters used historically by Indigenous peoples of the Plains regions of North America. Typically made from animal skins and wooden poles, they are revered for their durability, warmth, and portability, reflecting a deep understanding of practical and sustainable living in harmony with nature.
