Crafted in 100% pure silk satin, this design is a visual prayer woven from two powerful Lakota teachings. Guided by Kapémni—as it is above, so it is below—the pattern reflects the mirrored worlds of sky and earth and the continual exchange of power, prayer, and purpose between them. 
 
The butterfly, Kimímila, carries the story of profound healing and renewal. Long ago, a butterfly grieving a great loss shed her vibrant wings and wandered the earth in sorrow, until the colors of a river stone helped her remember beauty, life, and purpose. In returning to her wings, she returned to herself. Among our people, butterflies symbolize transformation, joy, and the dance of life—guides of warriors, bearers of wishes to Tunkásila, and messengers of ancestors who come close to visit. Their presence reminds us that change can be luminous, and every ending holds the possibility of beginning again.
 
This silk piece embodies those teachings—Kapémni’s celestial alignment and Kimímila’s promise of renewal—brought together in a refined, contemporary work of wearable art. Draped as a scarf or wrap, it offers both luxury and meaning, adding a touch of elegance while honoring the stories that help guide us forward.
