From the back cover:
Beauty, Honor, and Tradition: The Legacy of Plains Indian
Shirts represents a powerful collaboration between two
great museums - the National Museum of the American Indian/Smithsonian
Institution, and The Minneapolis Institute of Arts -
and two curators, father and son members of the A'aninin Indian Tribe
of Montana. George Pl Horse Capture, and his son, Joseph D. Horse Capture,
bring different insights to this project as they explore new relationships
among the shirts, the shirtmakers, the historians and
scholars, and the audience of Indians and non-Indians
alike.
"Plains Indian people greatly admired the power and the beauty of
these shirts," says George P. Horse Capture. "We regard them with that
same admiration today, and we take this opportunity to emphasize their
deep cultural meaning, the remarkable skill of the artisans
who made them, and the importance of the people who earned the right to wear them."
