Oglala Lakota headdress
|
| Description | Ceremonial headdress believed to have belonged to the Lakota chief Crazy Horse. Large spotted eagle feathers adorn the red wool cap, which is lined with hide. Feathers are tipped with long strands of red-dyed horsehair. Pine pitch adheres the hair to the feathers, and an ermine leg dangles from the brow band. The donor wore this headdress during his performances with the Calumet Indian Dancers for 25 years throughout the United States, from 1944-1969. |
