Shirts in mainland European collections by Martin Schultz

This presentation by Martin Schultz, of his doctoral research on Native American Plains Shirts, reflects extensive research in European museum collections and his personal assessment of the affiliation of shirt design elements to various tribes. The elders of the Blackfoot Digital Library wish to remind viewers and listeners that Schultz’s interpretations are not informed by consultation with those who have traditional knowledge of these shirts, and that any conclusions regarding their tribal affiliation should be considered tentative until such contributions have been sought, and consensus arrived at.
