The Lakota nation considers the black hills the center of the universe.  The dragonflies in the center represent the 'messengers' that take my prayers to the stars, our ancestors. The Buffalo tracks along each side of the center design represent the buffalo nation and serve as a reminder of the animal's role in sustaining our ancestors both physically and spiritually. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three strips at the top and bottom of the design symbolize the traditional beadwork designs that I often incorporate into my beaded moccasins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing up in the Black Hills and being a part of the powwow circle has taught me invaluable lessons about my Lakota culture and traditions.
