Symbols of Our Community
Below you will find a list of Native symbols and their meanings. These symbols are used to design the vases and other products we carry.
Made from the red clay of the Black Hills - sacred to the Lakota People - and a fine imported white clay from Kentucky.
Each piece is crafted by Sioux artists and decorated with designs and symbols important to their culture.
