content: George Levi and David Ramos 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. This is a female doll. The hair could be horse or buffalo, George leans toward buffalo. The design of the dress and moccasins are like a real woman's. It is designed the same and the construction is like in real life. It is just like a little person. The beadwork could be a family pattern- designs had different meanings to different people. Beadwork pieces are made for the doll, George says it's not recycling the items. David notes that the shoulder bead pattern is a moccasin design to him. There are different designs on each moccasin, but usually the moccasins will have the same design.
