Antelope
Antelope medicine is one of right action. If you were to visit Northern Plains today, you would see groups of antelope scattered about the fields and hills.

Antelope asks you: are you being still when you should be moving, or moving when stillness is required?

Or, are you being TOO sensitive, protecting yourself even when danger isn't present?
