XVII-INDIAN GIRLS' NAMES AND SYMBOLIC DECORATIONS

All Indian art is symbolic, and the decorative native designs may be so applied in bead-work, basketry, weaving, embroidery, or jewelry as to express the ideals and personality of the maker. This is true of all the tribes, but the individual symbols vary with their customs and habitat.

[Ill.u.s.tration: Fig. 11.]

In all genuine Sioux handiwork, the central design is the isosceles triangle (Fig. 11), representing the conical teepee or tent-the home.
