Ponoka (Elk) Special Edition Phone Case

  • $29.00
Model:

This special edition cell phone case by John Isaiah Pepion is a tribute to the Elk or (Ponoka), which is a great resource for numerous Plains Indian Nations. In addition to being an important food source, the elk is also a sacred animal that even has its own songs in ceremonies. The lifeline, or sacred breath of the elk is represented here with an arrow, and is inlaid with real abalone.

This beautiful case is made with real maple that is cut and high resolution printed with multiple layers of protective coating - all lovingly crafted in our Seattle studio. It includes a matte black plastic bumper that snaps into place perfectly, providing an added layer of protection for your phone.

*Since this case is 100% real authentic wood, the images seen above are representations of the wood. Actual wood grain, patterns and knots will vary with each individual case. Your case is unlike anyone else’s in the world, literally. 

Thank you for supporting Inspired Natives, not "Native-inspired."

about the artist

John Isaiah Pepion is a Plains Indian Graphic artist from the Piikani Band of the Blackfoot Confederacy. He is based out of the Blackfeet reservation in north-central Montana, where the Rocky Mountains meet the plains. John is best known for his ledger art, an art tradition that developed in Plains tribes as the buffalo hide they traditionally used for painting became scarce, and they were forced to adapt to making artwork on the ledger paper from accounting books. He comes from a family of artists, and ledger art has been in his family for hundreds of years.
