Area woman takes quilting materials to Indian reservation
www.pjstar.com/stories/011906/BRE_B8NJ3SLE.047.shtml
Q: I've come to a time that I can no longer quilt because of
arthritis in my hands, and I have so much fabric in storage. Whoever
gets it is going to have to bring a pickup truck.
Some time back I remember reading in your column about a woman who
takes sewing material and machines to an Indian reservation. I would
like to contact someone from that organization. Can you help me?
Also I heard they have started a Native American church somewhere
around here. Maybe they could use part of the material.
I have sewn all my life and know the value of this material, and I
don't want it to fall into the wrong hands. I want it to go to one or
both of these organizations. Can you help me?

A: I sure can. Jaria Hill takes machines and quilting materials to
the Little Sioux, who live on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota.
Ladies on the reservation make quilts so they can help support their
families.
You can call Hill at 346-4278. Quilts can be ordered from the Little
Sioux by calling (605) 747-5547.
The local Native America Church you asked about is actually part of
the Seven Circles Heritage Center.
Carol Lakota Eastin is pastor, and the name of the church is Native
American Fellowship-Dayspring United Methodist Church. It's a newly
chartered congregation with a multi-cultural mission.
Lakota Eastin also was the founding director of Return to Pimiteoui
Pow Wow and Seven Circles Heritage Center.
Fourteen years in the making Seven Circles mission is to promote
American Indian culture - dance, arts, and cultural values - for the
purpose of educating the broader community. It also provides a forum
for native peoples and other interested persons to share knowledge,
learn traditions and art forms, and form community.
Seven Circles offers a sewing program for the young American Indian
girls who make regalia for their dance ceremonies.
If you would like more information about the program or donate
material to Seven Circles, call 637-1046.
Seven Circles is located at 8817 W. Southport Road in Edwards.
