Geocache Description:

Bead workers took pride in their ability to do fine work. Much of the Plains Indians' decoration was created specifically to be viewed in motion. The Indian craftsman had the movement of the body, the graceful motion of the horse, and the wafting of the Plains breeze in mine when he developed the corona of feathers, the elaborate fringe and the many pendants of cloth, leather and beads.

Bead work was often competiitive. If a neighbor owned a pair of fully beaded moccasins, another would bead the soles as well as the tops. (Also known as "spirit moccasins") A woman might bead her dress all the way to the bottom edge instead of restricting her beads to the yoke. Intertribal trade and gift-giving often involved objects of beadwork. Now you too can trade beads.
