"Montana Star Quilts" book

A century ago, Native American Plains Indians recorded their lives and achievements on painted buffalo robes. Today, the morning Star Quilt is its contemporary equivalent, an object of both honor and function in every-day Indian life. The morning star design probably gained acceptance due to its similarity to the Sacred Circle -- representing life's continuous circle. For many Northern Plains tribes, the star quilt is one of the most honored gifts a family can give-a-way or receive. Some tribes represented in Monatan Star Quilts are the Assiniboine, Sioux and Chippewa of Montana. Lewis and Clark brought the white man to Indian country, missionaries followed teaching the Indians to quilt. Star quilts caught on and have endured throughout the years.
