The true meaning of Itazipacola means "no markings" this referred to the fact that the Itazipco were so generous they did not mark their arrows that would tell who killed the buffalo (etc.) that way everyone could share the meat. This is why when the creator wanted to give the pipe to the Lakota the White Buffalo Woman "Wopi" brought it to the Itazipco because they would always be willing to share it.
