Neihardt Activities[2251] Anonymous, Poster for Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the World (c. 1899), courtesy of the Library of Congress [LC-USZC4-2943]. As a young man, Black Elk took part in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. This poster shows a band of Rough Riders battling Cuban insurgents. The famous charge at San Juan Hill had taken place the previous year. [7418] Anonymous, Boy's moccasins, Lakota (n.d.), courtesy of the New York State Historical Association, Thaw Collection. Reservation-period (post-1880) beadwork on these dress moccasins shows how the American flag motif was incorporated into Native American design. This motif has been read as a sign of assimilation or as a way to capture the power of the enemy. [8117] Mandan and Plains Indians, Moccasins (c. 1850-70), courtesy of the Portland Art Museum, gift of Elizabeth Cole Butler. Typical Plains clothing included buckskin aprons, leggings, and moccasins for men and buckskin dresses for women. Buffalo-skin robes were worn in cold weather. Decorated moccasins are common in portraits and photos of Plains Indians. |
