Create your own shield that tells me what is important to you or your family or your
class. Share your story with the world or view the shields from
other countries and see what other people say about their lives.
Cedar, rock, peace pipes, corn, earthlodge and the sun are all symbols used on the Sahnish Shield.
Tell me about your world and what is important to you. What is your community or family famous for? What people lived in your region 200, 500, or 1000 years ago? Describe your climate and the relationships between geography, geology and weather. Collect your family or community history, and make a prediction for the future. Share your story with others by submitting a project to my Shield Gallery!

Historic and Modern Shields Shields have been made in the past and are still being made today. Symbolism is a key component in shield decoration. Stories come first, then symbols are drawn to create an 'iconic' picture that conveys meaning. What symbols will you choose to tell your story?
