Plains Blue Trade Cloth Woman’s Dress, Lakota, c. late 19th century. Muslin-backed yoke with rows of dentalia shells and bugle beads, with ribbon applique decoration along bottom
thing one: this is gorgeous.
thing two: if we are calling lakota things non-western we need a new word for ‘western’ in the culture sense, because that is insane. it is driving me insane. i am having an autisitc flipout over terminology here and i am nor even joking.
