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

CHEYENNE / ARAPAHO DRESSES
Cheyenne Dress (replica) circa 1850
Although the original dress has been identified as Sioux, it displays decided Cheyenne characteristics, not only in the cut and shape but, for example - the large amount of black beads used in the beadwork.
Description: brain tanned deer skin, glass seed beads, hand cut fringe, clay earth pigment paints, trade cloth, etc.
EARTH MANTLE
I am of the earth and I wear my mantle with its many colors. The brown for fertile soil and the green for new growth. Many journeys have been made across the straight paths of red walking under the blue sky. I have gone many directions. Each thong represents a journey accomplished and the elk teeth have given me much stamina to do what I must do. I have great wealth. There are yet many mountains to climb and I know that my journeys will be blessed with Great Spirit along my way
This dress in a private collection in Wyoming
