A bison scapula hoe with an engraved design was recovered from a Great Bend aspect site at Arkansas City, KS, in the fall of 1995. The site is associated with the historic and modern Wichita, who, along with their relatives the Pawnee, had star cults and planting ceremonies. By using sign language to interpret the symbols and relate them to the spring planting ceremony, 1 conclude that the artifact was associated with this ceremony to Evening Star and her Sacred Garden to ensure food production
