The male figure is Yellow Elk. Designs on the horse represent spiritual protection. The triangles at the top, are the mountains (the backbone of the universe). The door inside the triangle is a star and the green symbols are the rolling hills also with stars inside them.

Terrance Guardipee is an internationally acclaimed Blackfeet painter and ledger artist, consistently recognized for the traditional depiction of his Blackfeet heritage and contemporary innovation demonstrated in his work. Terrance was one of the first Native artists to revive the historical ledger art tradition, and was the first ledger artist to transform the style from the single page custom into his signature map collage concept. His style of art is known as "Ledger Art" which is a collage mixed media on a very large ledger paper with antique documents, checks, maps and stock receipts. The leading institutions in the Native art community consistently acknowledge Terrance’s innovative incorporation of authentic Blackfeet images into his own contemporary form of ledger art.
