Before European beads became
available, Sioux women used the porcupine quill to create original designs that
she received through her dreams. They say that the quilling art was
brought to a Sioux woman in a dream. She then taught others the beautiful
art.
River Trading Post acquired this
collection of Sioux quill work from a Blackfeet woman who traded items with the
Sioux for these. The pipe bags come from the Rosebud reservation.
Unfortunately we do not know who created them, but they are beautiful pieces.
