Paula says - "You may have heard of Ledger Art, where Indians used the materials at hand, such as old ledger paper from forts and missions, on which to paint and draw. Today's Lakota artists continue to be innovative, using boxes and bags as their blank canvases." "This bag is from the Native West Trading Post on the Pine Ridge Reservation near The Badlands in South Dakota. Native West handles a wide range of authentic Native American jewelry and crafts made by local Lakota Sioux artists from Pine Ridge and Rosebud."
