Lakota Horse Note Card - By Patricia Mills

"Lakota Warriors would make "Sticks" depicting a fallen horse in battle.

By making and carrying the sticks. it was hoped that the spirit of the horse would follow the warrior in the life and give them strength and power.

The warriors would carve the horses' wounds in their sticks to show their injuries. I chose to put the wound on the surface of the canvas..."
