content: From card: "People: Sioux? *plains (J.C. Ewers 1984). Remarks: *since no information at all is available concerning the origin of these dolls [E58618-0 and E58618-1] and there is no definitive evidence that they are Sioux, the designation 'Plains' is more accurate until further information becomes available. [E58618-1] measures 12 3/4" long. It is a male doll, though a tag attached to it says it is female. The moccs are navy hourglass designs on a white background. Red beads edge the sides. The leggings are edged with navy and white beads that terminate in long forked tabs. The loin cloth is of red strouding and reaches to the feet. The doll is wearing a cloth shirt (black polka dots and blue leaf print). Its hair is divided into 4 braids, 2 of which are wrapped in strouding (red). A white necklace of two strands is worn around the neck, while a white fur quiver is slung across the back."
