Lakota Star Quilt
This Beautiful Star quilt was made by Darlene Poor Bear, a member of our Oglala Lakota family, on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
In Sioux tradition, the Star quilt is a gift reserved for those held in highest esteem for their actions on behalf of the people, or when a life enters - a newborn, or crosses over-leaves-the Family circle.
The Star quilt is a symbol of our ( Lakota ) gathering together into one people. Each piece of the quilt is important. Without it, the quilt would not be possible. Each piece has a different shape and color. Each piece of the quilt means nothing by itself, but if you place all the pieces together, you have something beautiful, held together by powerful ties. Each piece comes together by a special plan. It is done by the work of human hands and hearts.
The quilt becomes a new gift. This is what we celebrate when we come together as a people in the spirit of Wakan Tanka. We are one and we share each others joy's and hope's. By the power of love, we hold each other together in a beautiful unity.
