Dakota hide quillwork man's shirt
|
| Description | Dakota man's hide shirt has long sleeves with a cape-like upper arm that has long fringed tails hanging from the elbow. The bottom of the shirt repeats these tails. Bands of quillwork in yellow, blue and red run down the arms; they are edged in a double row of blue beads and fringe hangs from the quillwork. Bands of quillwork also run from waist front, over shoulder, and down the back. The neck band is made of olive wool. At the center front and back are "U" shaped quillwork ornaments with fringe. The shirt was collected by Colonel John G. Clark, who was stationed at Fort Rice in Dakota Territory from 1865 - 1866 with the 50th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment. |
