Prairie Rose
The title refers to the featured bright pink Prairie Rose as well as the sitting Indian girl contemplating a small rose held in her hand.  The L-shaped rim bordering the girl represents designs by Great Plains tribes, and these designs are every bit as beautiful as the rose which is native to those very same Plains and would have been familiar to all those cultures.  All tribal designs are authentic in color and form and represent from left to right the following: Lakota, Crow, Shoshone, Cheyenne, Pan-American (Southern Plains-Oklahoma Panhandle and Texas), Ojibwe, Kiowa, Teton Sioux, Hidatsa, Blackfeet, and Potawatomi (eastern edge of the Great Plains).
