Chief Bone Necklace – 1899
The Lakota tribe is also known as the Teton Sioux and is the largest and most western-inclined clan of all the major groups. They lived in both North and South Dakota and have up to seven tribal bands. Interestingly, the women in this clan were the ones in charge of the resources and also their various distributions. As for the men, they would set themselves up to run as chiefs which would be graded based on different factors. From the look of things, this man pictured here could be passed as a chief.
