Painted muslin Ghost Dance shirt
|
| Description | Dakota Ghost Dance shirt made of unbleached muslin painted in blue and brown dyes. The shirt is in poor condition and, as a result, has been fully encapsulated by the Minnesota Historical Society. It was reportedly given to the donor's grandfather, of Sioux City, Iowa, by members of a Dakota tribe, circa 1889. Secured by a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Keewaydin Chapter, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. |
