Mni Wiconi. Water is Life. Whether that water is a river, rain, ponds, oceans, or teardrops, it is the source of life. It is powerful, nourishing, and sacred. When water manifests itself as a teardrop there may be joy, happiness or pain and sorrow. It flows and can be dammed. It moves and is still. There can be drought or floods, as it is unpredictable but precious. Water ebbs and flows as does life. It is the heart, the spirit, the sky and the land. Water is life.
The shield is a symbol of protection, durability and defense.  I can’t think of something that would be better to wear every single day.  Like a Wonder Woman talisman.  Something that makes you realize you are a warrior.
