    • WHAT WE WEAR: A Contemporary Expression of Indigenous Fashion

      This exhibit exemplified modern Indigenous design of clothing and adornment worn by our tribal citizens. Through the work of twelve Indigenous artists, which included jewelry, clothing, accessories, and wall art.

      Traditional and contemporary clothing or regalia are as diverse as the tribes they represent--from ribbon work of the plains Osage tribe to the beaded Choctaw collar necklace or an exquisite Chickasaw finger-woven belt; they are all very unique with special meaning or purpose.

      In collaboration with this exhibit Chickasaw artist Tyra Shackleford taught a two-hour class on the ancient tribal art of Finger Weaving. Students made a small finger woven piece and will have all the knowledge leaving the class to start their own belt at home.
