Nestonevaoo'e turns her head to listen to the voice of the wind.
The Cheyenne valued elk teeth as a sign of a good hunter. Young men would collect the two eye teeth or ivories from each elk and save them as a gift for their future wife to sew on her dress. When traders brought cowrie shells from distant lands, they became an alternative decoration, sewn in rows to the yellow-dyed hide dresses and accented with beaded panels. These beautiful Cheyenne dresses are my favorite of all Native American creations, although very challenging to paint.
