I read the article that was recommended by Dunster. The book suggested in the article,
The Star Quilt on the Northern Plains: A Symbol of American Indian Identity by Birgit Hans, is not a book but rather an article that is part of a publication by the State Historical Society of North Dakota.
https://www.history.nd.gov/publications/starquilt.pdf The author was a professor of Native American History who retired recently. She did publish other books about Native American history as well as a text book for Native American Studies.
This is a much deeper dive into all early quilting in America as well as the use of symbols in the Native American tradition. Worth the read and with many additional resources mentions if you are interested in Native quilting and symbols used in their traditions.
