Abstract
When the United States government and troops attempted to destroy the Lakota culture by killing the buffalo, placing the Lakota on reservation, and forcing the Lakota to adopt European-Aemrican attitudes and behaviors, Lakota women preserved elements of their culture by symbolically sewing Lakota history and worldviews into the Star Quilt.
