"Leggings (Blackfoot)
Deerskin leggings were held in place by attaching the leather straps to a belt around the waist. Typical Blackfoot features are the painted black stripes on the yellow background and the use of the small square element in the bead design to created stepped triangles and crosses. Further decoration is provided by ermine skin streamers wrapped with woven red wool at the base, as well as the addition of brass bells. According to museum records, these leggings were bought from Chief Curley Gear at Glacier National Park in 1916. .."
