Studio Portrait of Two Young Ho-Chunk Men and Ho-Chunk Woman
| Mary Goodvillage Hindsley (ChoWasSkaWinKah) is sitting in front of Henry Hindsley (MaHePeWinKah), left, and Henry Badsoldier Stacy (MonNawPaeSheSheckKaw). Mary is dressed in traditional Ho-Chunk clothing, including a silk appliqué skirt (wawaje), necklaces (wanapi), German-silver bracelets (zuura sgaa aipa), and a finger-woven wool sash. Both young men are wearing beaded Ho-Chunk bandolier bags and bone and shell bandoliers and are holding silk appliqué blankets. These bandolier bags are of Ho-Chunk design. The Ho-Chunk did trade for bandolier bags with the Ojibwa, a common practice at this time. It is said that the price for a bandolier bag was one good horse. |
