Art Treasures of Nebraska - Native American Clothing

Sioux, Omaha, Kiowa. A Sioux dress with ornate beading is typical of traditional Lakota ceremonial clothing worn during the reservation era. And this Omaha hide jacket is said to have belonged to Logan Fontenelle, who accompanied a delegation of tribal leaders that signed the government treaty establishing the Omaha Reservation. The jacket shows the dynamic nature of native culture, combining traditional materials and methods with Euro-American tailoring and trade goods. And these Kiowa tennis shoes marry traditional techniques to contemporary materials and uses. The Native American adaptations are art treasures of Nebraska at Joslyn Art Museum.

Meh... I don't appreciate modern + traditional mixed into one... I guarantee the art would be cooler with all old school pre-modern materials and methods...

I have seen a few traditional/modern mixes that I liked, but those are few are far between. I prefer to keep it old school.
