    The guy in the 2nd picture looks like he has the same type of outfit as the guy on the left in the first picture. Maybe he is Osage too.
    The only time its too late to start dancing is when you're dead.

                Gledanh,

                Do you think there might be a direct correlation between modern beaded harnesses and otter pelts worn like harnesses on Man Dancers?

                  WhoMe,

                  I don't know about that possible correlation. The otters, often with mirrors were also worn up north, but to my knowledge, not hanging down full length, as the southern style. In Oklahoma, the older guys with whom I started fancy dancing, all called the harnesses "galluses," which is an old fashioned word for suspenders. They were called galluses even though they didn't really hold anything up.

                    Galluses

                    The Ho-Chunks still wear those otter harnesses with mirrors, they are snazzy, but with that and a turban and dragger it would be just too much otter for me.
                    Also there are some nice pics of Ho-Chunk fellas from the early 1900's with the harnesses on and ribbonwork/beaded bandoliers- real fancy like.

                            I acquired a Pawnee harness/belt, fancy dance set dating from WW II. It's base material was cotton cloth with a straight ribbon binding. The galluses did not hang below the belt; they were sewn to the top of the belt making it all one unit. Lots of the decoration was "spoked wheel conchos" applied with sequins and beads.
