"Ribbon
Shirt Quilt" This
quilt was inspired by the ribbon shirt. The ribbon shirt has
come to be worn as a symbol of indianness by tribal people across
North America. The origin of the shirt is in the fringed leather
shirts of the Plains Indians. When woven cloth and ribbons became
available as trade items, Plains women used the new materials
to create facsimiles of the original leather shirts. There are
some tribal styles and characteristics and a lot of variety
and originality displayed in the ribbon shirts being made. The
are worn by men, women, babies, elders and teenagers.
