content: David Ramos, George Levi, Max Bear, and Joyce Twins of the Cheyenne delegation from the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma accompanied by Michael Jordan, anthropologist, made these comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit November 3-6, 2015. The elk teeth are incised/carved which is very rare and unusual. The design on dress reminds Michael of designs on side of pipe bags. To David Ramos, a dressmaker, some of the designs on the yoke look more Cheyenne, but the yoke itself looks more Sioux. Possibly this dress merges different Lakota and Northern Cheyenne characteristics.
