Indepth Arts News: "Beauty, Honor, and Tradition: The Legacy of Plains Indian Shirts" 2000-12-10 until 2001-07-02 Smithsonian, National Museum of the American Indian New York, NY, USA
The imagery
on the shirts depicted important events, such as battles, and served to
educate youth about the values of shirt-wearers—generosity, honor,
and bravery. Today, the Plains shirt lives on in regalia worn at
powwows and community celebrations, and in shirts and jackets made
to honor achievements in academia and sports. NMAI curator George
Horse Capture (A'aninin [Gros Ventre]) and his son, Joe Horse Capture
(A'aninin [Gros Ventre]), curator at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts,
worked together to provide this exhibition with an illuminating wealth of
insight and information, each contributing his unique perspective, and
bringing that of the Indian communities they visited, on these powerful
shirts. Beauty, Honor, and Tradition is presented in collaboration with
the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Featuring forty-nine visually stunning and spiritually powerful Plains
Indian shirts from NMAI's collections, Beauty, Honor, and Tradition:
The Legacy of Plains Indian Shirts explores the beauty, power,
history, iconography, construction, and materials of Plains Indian shirts
from the nineteenth and twentieth century. The shirts in Beauty,
Honor, and Tradition served many purposes beyond their obvious use
as clothing. In nineteenth-century communities from southern Canada
to northern Texas, they were made to honor warriors and tribal leaders,
to adorn spiritual leaders, and to channel animal power.
