Also the Lakota Star quilt is sent with a loved one on their journey to our ancestors.

Sort of off topic to the OP -

Have you been back to SD to see "Dignity" yet?

I have seen the statue! My cousin was there at Christmas time and took tons of pics.

If anyone is interested a great historic read about quilts I recommend:

To Honor and Comfort: Native Quilting Traditions

The quilt is also called the Morning Star.

Thanks for all the nice comments!
