Message with Caricatures
The message with these drawings says:
"Though the tears of today are drawn from the wells of sorrow, they will flow from the springs of memory, through which will come your strength for tomorrow. (unknown)"
These caricatures were done the week of April 16, 2007 by a woman who wanted to show each victim with a smile.

Quilt
This quilt was made by a Sioux tribe woman. Before it left the reservation, it was blessed by two elders from the Crow and Cheyenne tribes. Boys from the St. Labre School performed a Crow ceremony called "Wiping The Tears", which is part of a yearlong ceremony honoring passing. The pattern is called the star of honor.
