THE COMPONENTS,
HOW, WHEN, & WHERE
IT WAS MADE
I made this coat sitting in my Lodge (Tipi) at
Arapahoe, Wyoming just after the Sun Dance,
at the Blue Sky Powwow grounds in 1995.
This coat is made of White Deer Skin,
lined with a Hand Woven Whitney blanket.
It has a HORSE HAIR SCALP LOCK that came
from a wild mustang in the Wind River mountain range.
Several BRASS CONES attached to the fringe.
The liner (Whitney Blanket) came from a trade show
in New Ulm, Minnesota, 1989.
The whole coat was hand cut, hand stitched,
and all the fringe is hand cut.
As the pictures show, it is all hand sewn with Sinew,
and woolen red and black yarn.
It comes with two different belts.
One belt is a WHITNEY DIAMOND belt,
