Medicine in the Native American belief is anything that brings one closer to ones connection with himself and his greater source of power. A medicine bag would contain items such as stones, feathers, parts of sacred power animals, and anything else he would draw power from. It could contain items from loved ones and/or herbs for healing of the body, mind and spirit. These bags were also used to house their arrows and weapons, peace pipes or flutes. They were decorated in traditional designs done in beadwork or paint. Feathers, hair, leather, teeth, or other parts of animals were also used in the decoration of these bags.

War Shirts / Ceremonial Shirts / Scalp Shirts - Native American War Shirts
LAKOTA SIOUX SCALP SHIRT

| Replica of a Lakota (Sioux) Scalp Shirt circa 1870. |
Shirt is loosely based on the Lakota war shirt presented by Little Big Man, who said it allegedly had once belonged to Crazy Horse, or that it had at least been worn by him. According to family history however, the shirt cannot have belonged to the great Lakota chief, who never kept scalps he took in war but instead left them upon the ground
CROW HAIR FRINGED SHIRT
Although the Smithsonian Institute records the original shirt as Crow - some scholars say that it is probably of Arapaho or Cheyenne origin dating from around 1880
