Crow Indian with Peace Pipe by James Bama

Bama liked his classic face, which he thought would have been appropriate on a
buffalo nickel. When Bright Wings visited Old Trail Town in Cody, Wyoming

Crow Indian with Peace Pipe by James Bama ~ James Bama met Henry Bright Wings during a medicine ceremony
performed in the tepee of a Crow medicine man in Wyola, Montana. He was then 68.
Bama liked his classic face, which he thought would have been appropriate on a
buffalo nickel. When Bright Wings visited Old Trail Town in Cody, Wyoming
several years later, Bama dressed him in historical costume including a pre-1900
headdress and a very old buffalo robe from the Old Trail Town Museum in Cody.
In earlier times the right to wear a headdress had to be earned, usually in
battle. Today even women and children sometimes wear a showy nontraditional war
bonnet for pow-wow dance parades and celebrations. Many men feel that their age
is entitlement enough, but others will not wear a headdress because they do not
consider it their proper. Bama met a Pine Ridge Reservation Indian who would not
pose in a headdress even though he was 45 years old and certainly looked
venerable enough.
During the Indian Wars of the post-Civil War years, Bright Wings’ people, the
Crows, frequently allied themselves with the military against such traditional
enemies as the Sioux and the Cheyenne. Crow scouts rode to their deaths with
Custer. You may also be interested in the following product(s)
