description: This book illustrates quilts that exemplify the proud work of Native American women. This collection features unique and dynamic museum quality quilts. Created by the women of the Assiniboine, Gros Ventre, Mandan Hidatsa, Sioux and Cree tribes who live on reservations in Montana and the Dakotas. Indian women of the Northern Plains have been quilting since the late 19th century, when the craft of quilting was introduced to them by early American settlers and missionaries. They then transformed the concept of quilting into their own unique art form. This is their story...these are their quilts, beautifully photographed in rich detail.
