Prayer Trees:
A tree symbolizes the world center, where heaven and earth touch, where all times and places converge. For this reason trees are considered to be places of prayer The tying on of the ribbons is done with a specific intention for healing, luck, or some other purpose, and the spirits are believed to heed the intentions conveyed by the ribbons. Lone trees or trees growing in unusual places are considered especially powerful These trees are also called ongonmodon, for they are believed to be the home of shamans' helper spirits. Sometimes you may see white tufts of cotton and for many peoples, these represent the souls of the children being sung to the Light; they may also represent the clouds of the Rain Maker or Rain Goddess who will help to bring the crops. Various colors of cloth that are used often represent different cardinal directions of the Earth, different seasons, different times of day. Colors can also represent particular intentions: a prayer with blue yarn or cloth. The blue, might represent asking the "cooling waters" to do their healing work with some very ill and feverish friend. Feathers, can represent different prayers. Tying an Owl feather could represent: "may we see our way clearly through this time of darkness." Quail feather: "may we remember to pay attention to the small, wee beings of the Earth."
