"Preparation for Dinner"
The Sioux Indian women of the Teton or Western Dakota tribe sustained and perpetuated village life using their agricultural and domestic skills. Among the Dakota women's many skills were porcupine quill work and bead embroidery. They also performed such essential tasks as dressing hides for clothing and shelter, caring for the children and cooking.

This is a stunning image, Lay. It is so difficult to find ones that portray traditional forms of living.

What a great card.
How VERY beautiful. I am American Indian in part, so I find this to especially lovely and poignant somehow.
I'm sorry I am coming by so late for Postcard Friendship Friday. My parents were involved in a roll-over accident on the freeway and are both now recovering, leaving little time for blogging. I had a few minutes just now, though, so here I am.
Happy PFF!
