dreamed about a big porcupine on the highway.

NOTES

The Porcupine is very

significant in the D/Lakota

culture as it teaches patience

and skill to the persons who

use the quills. The persons

have a vision and become

quill workers. This skill is

regarded as being equivalent

to a warrior status. On my

reservation my mother,

sisters and I are known to be

quill workers, we belong to

the Quill Worker Society and

teach quill work.
