Yesterday was Mother's Day, so this week’s CAIRNS Etanhan Wotanin explores how the term “mother” is far broader in Lakotan kinship than in the western sence of a person’s birth or biological mother. Then it considers the three women who are in narratives about the earliest Lakotan time, cosmological time. The column, “Legendary Women”, can be read now by clicking here, or later this week in the Lakota Times newspaper. The image above is a detail from The Stars: A New Way to See Them, page 93, by H. A.
