content: On May 12, 2011, Rosella Sky Arrow (granddaughter of Minnie Sky Arrow who is said to have owned the dress numbered E362331) visited the NMNH's Museum Support Center and viewed various objects from the Evans collection. Sky Arrow claimed that E362333 and E357937 were made to go with E362331. She stated that the beads were the same in all three catalogue numbers, the beading techniques the same and that the general designs were the same. In addition, Sky Arrow (being a beader herself) stated that the colors and designs of the moccasins and leggings would have been inverted compared to the colors and designs used in the dress, which was the case with the three objects.
