We will learn the history and teachings of the Ribbon shirt and skirt, and continue onto the steps of creating your own garment.
Ribbon shirts and skirts are a symbol of sacredness and in some areas refer to the tipi and how the women take care of the tipi and their teachings. Ribbon garments are not bound to one specific tribe, but influenced by the many Tribes. When attending a ceremony, women are advised to wear a long skirt because the grounds are sacred and ceremonies are being conducted. It is believed that the bottom of the skirts should touch the earth's medicines, and as the women walked, "Mother Earth would always know who it was that was making their presence felt on her back" and the prayers are answered accordingly.
