Stunning and Phenomenal. Institution worthy. Confederated Salish and Kootenai, or Flathead Indian. Was given by a tribal elder to as a token of appreciation to Robert John Stahl III for his service to the tribe. This is the nicest Tipi Bag I have ever had the opportunity to sell. It appears to have set in a protected area for a very long time, the leather is soft and malleable. Bone Buttons, Hawk Bells, and Beaded Drops. 16 1/2" long, 11 3/8" tall. In 1991 Bob and his family moved to Missoula, Montana where, at the age of 47, he attended Law School at the University of Montana. Following completion of law school in 1994, Bob accepted employment as a law clerk for the Tribal Court of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes in Pablo, Montana. He advised the Court as their law clerk for 20 years. Bob believed that his work with the Tribes was the most important work he accomplished in his professional career. Bob cherished the relationships he developed from that work, especially his friendship with Chief Judge Burke, a highly respected Kootenai elder. Throughout his years in Montana, Bob also taught in the Native American Studies Department at the University of Montana until his retirement in 2008.
