The term designates printable or digital pages featuring outlines of the Native American cultural object, often intricately designed, intended for coloring. These illustrations can range from simple, easily filled-in designs to complex patterns with numerous small details. An example would be a line drawing of a webbed circle adorned with feathers and beads, ready to be colored with markers, crayons, or colored pencils.
Such artistic representations serve multiple purposes. They provide a creative outlet, allowing individuals to engage in a relaxing and mindful activity. Furthermore, they can offer an accessible introduction to the symbolism and cultural significance of the original item for both children and adults.
