Rocky Stallings, an Indian medicine man fixture at the Institute of Texan Cultures since 1968, seeks more native materials for his crafts and healing practice. He uses elk antlers and javelina heads for arrowheads and tools, trades parts for bear claws, and relies on herbs for cures while guiding schools and scouts in heritage knowledge.
