About the Star of the Tatonka People Mural
About the F.B.I./Tingley Farm
“About 200 years ago the relationship between the
bison and Native Americans was very sacred, and
we wanted to pay tribute to that history. Being a
part of a bison operation, we felt this pattern is very
fitting to represent that special bond.”—Erica &
Peter Cook, owners of Cook’s Bison Ranch
Susan Berger, who helps run the 2,800 acre farm,
writes that the family has maintained the “Tingley”
name because not only is the farm a community
landmark known by that title, but also because “if
you are very quiet, you can still feel the presence of
Mr. Tingley.”
The barn where Mariner’s Compass and the Big
Dipper murals are displayed is the only polygonal
barn in Indiana constructed of material other
than wood. Cement was hand-mixed each day
and used to create the walls of the barn; while
the concrete set, the boards were put in place.
This process was both time and labor-intensive a
hundred years ago without the use of machines
or equipment.

Susan Burger, who helps run the 2,800 acre farm,
writes: “My daughter Sylvia grew up on the farm
and spent a lot of time in the barn playing. When
the flies would come around, she would swipe
them off her arm and face and sing: ‘Shoo fly, don’t
bother me, … ‘Cause I belong to somebody!’ She
found a happy way to contend with those pests.”

The Eash family believes this pattern represents a
life of “balance,” as it mixes traditional elements
and modern colors. They associated each kite with
one family member. “The blue square represents
the sky, along with the risks and adventure we often
seek. The green smaller square represents the earth
and the simple life we all have grown to love living
here in LaGrange County.”—Vanessa Eash
This pattern, where two canoe shapes crisscross
between four squares painted burgundy and tan,
is an obviously appropriate choice for Indiana’s
second largest canoe livery, Trading Post, in Mongo.
“This pattern is a natural fit for us. It celebrates the
fact that we are a family-owned business where
you can travel along a beautiful river and wildlife
preserve.”—Jessica Senecal

Debate has surrounded the notion that this pattern
originated in Indiana, and of course, most Hoosiers
believe it did. The color scheme for the mural pays
homage to the Amish community, whose clothing
frequently is made from darker but varying shades
of blue.
