I wonder if Darren has some insight on this place? I bet it'd be an eye opener to visit.  :hairy

Bull,.... from what I can find, ribbon shirts (like he's wearing), didn't really make an appearance until the early 1900's, and were worn during Native American religious ceremonies, with the ribbons representing prayers.

During the late 1700's (in the Great Lakes region),.... ribbon appliqué (embroidered floral designs) were being embroidered onto cloth shirts by the northern tribes, both the ribbon and the muslin cloth were acquired from french traders.
And by the mid 1800's, this custom had spread westerly to the Plains tribes. 

Nowadays,.... ribbon shirts (like he's wearing) can be seen being worn by Native Americans during their Pow Wows (and other tribal ceremonies) across most of the country.  :bl th up

Absolutely awesome video! What a treasure trove of artifacts and history this guy has put together. I would love to talk with him for a couple hours...but could spend days inside that fort looking at all those original artifacts...well worth a road trip!
