Pictured to the left is a Lakota confirmation cross. When Barbara Stroud-Borth did her internship for the pastorate with the Lakota, there was still a language barrier between the tribes and the whites.

The head pastor came up with the idea of the cross to give to the Indians to show they were Christians so they could take communion.
