Original Description:
OGLALA LAKOTA SIOUX GHOST DANCE SHIRT, c. 1890.  Hand sewn on muslin.  Green painted triangle front bib and fringe at seams.  Buffalo tail drops on sleeves and mid-back.  Painted symbols include: Thunder Bird, crescent moon, stars, hail stones, crosses, rain, and other symbols.  The shirt measures 22" from shoulder to shoulder, and 27 1/2" long.  It is in remarkably good condition with no tears or failures at seams.  There is fairly obvious stains at ...the arm pits, consistent with use and age.COLLECTION HISTORY:  This shirt was given to a family member in the late 1920s/early 1930s.  It came from a family friend who was Oglala Lakota Sioux and his wife who was Ojibwa, in west central Minnesota. This couple had converted to Catholicism and no longer valued the shirt that had been in their family since the late 1800s.  Please consider the photographs as part of the description.  I would be happy to answer any questions that I can.
