content: Culture identification changed from Shoshone to Arapaho, March 2005 by Candace Greene. Attributed to Arapaho based on stylistic characteristics, specifically the thunderbird design at top center, the disks at the four quarters, and the pendants (formerly quill-wrapped) down the front. Compare to full-size Arapaho tipi cat. no. E18900, which is similarly ornamented. Granier, the collector, owned a mine in Wyoming and collected extensively on the Wind River Reservation (Shoshone and Arapaho) as well as elsewhere. Arapaho specimens in this accession (24,931) are almost certainly Northern Arapaho from Wind River rather than Southern Arapaho from Indian Territory, or Oklahoma, as indicated in the original catalog records. Granier is also the donor of acc. 34,005.
