This is the Christmas tree ornament from my Native tribe this year. I am a member of the Choctaw tribe.
The ornament is solid pewter made in the USA. There is a greeting on back. It came with a Christmas card that details the relationship between what is on the card and the tribe. This year the subject is the deer (issi) and how all parts of the deer are a gift to the tribe to be used and respected.
I love receiving these keepsake ornaments.

Such a beautiful ornament! And such a beautiful post. I didn´t know that you were a Native. Please tell us more about your people here.

That is a pretty ornament.
I have totally given up doding up - not even a Christmas tree. I will just put balloons on the floor for kids to play

That ornament would be very special indeed. How lovely to have such a thing. I'm guessing you have others from other years?

That is a cool ornament and it's very special that you are a member of the Choctaw tribe. Have a good day.
