This is all hand made by the Blackfoot Native Americans and features beautiful beadwork. The Ghost Dance was a new religious movement which was incorporated into numerous Native American belief systems. According to the prophet Jack Wilson (Wovoka)'s teachings, proper practice of the dance would reunite the living with the spirits of the dead and bring peace, prosperity, and unity to native peoples throughout the region. Unfortunately this ended with the killing of many Indians including the battle of wounded knee. This is a great piece from 1890-1910 worn in those dances.
