content: George Levi and Max Bear 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. These leggings are made from a bobcat or young mountain lion hide because of the spots on the fur. There are also turtle bones on it. The Cheyenne use turtle bones as 'tinklers'. These leggings were made for a girl for wintertime use. Michael sees the 'beads' as old shoe buttons because they have a shank on them.
