Front of one side with beaded floral design, containing one bird and on the upper flap a pair of American flags. The beaded designs are mostly bordered with white beads. April 23, 1975 Mr. Richard Pohrt of Flint, Mich. examined these (which were then called Winnebago) and said that the Winnebago did not make this type of leggings, and that he judged that they were Eastern Sioux or Red River "Breeds" [sic, mixed-bloods] (Metis). - R. Elder. Loaned to the Flint Institute of Arts 9-9-1975. Returned from the Flint Institute of Arts 2-10-1977." Identified as a pair of men's half leggings by Rick Hewitt 11-2-2007
