content: George Levi of the Cheyenne delegation from the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma made these comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit November 3-6, 2015. Noted that the feathers on the arrows are probably from turkeys. The quiver could be a summer cow hide, though it looks softer than cow.
