Teresa will cover a tumultuous period in American Indian culture beginning in
1880, when Native American Indians were learning to adapt. Western missionary
women made their way into the lives of American Indian communities. Native
Indians were taught quilt making skills and provided fabric and supplies. Women
with adept needle skills adopted Western patchwork quilts and made quilts that
reflect their own cultural heritage. Learn how the transference from sewing
buffalo hides and other natural materials to quilting took place and see the
beautiful quilts made in this period.
