Created in honor of the artist's late brother, Cole Brings Plenty, the design carries layered meaning drawn from Lakota culture. Red signifies birth, while blue represents an honorable death. At the center, a dragonfly symbolizes healing medicine, while stars along the top and bottom honor Brings Plenty and her five siblings. Scripted Lakota words and dates mark meaningful moments for the Lakota people and her tiwáhe (family), while the border’s boxed motifs draw inspiration from traditional Lakota beadwork and quillwork practiced by her mother.
