I am of Cherokee family. When I was making my Beautiful Buckskin dress.I made the fringe long on the arms,I only have a small amount of Bead work on her. Just to out line the edge of my sleeves and the edge o the neck. I did not start out to do this it just came out that way.It came from my heart. I was told one time that it was like a working dress. I love to dance in her and a have people tell me how pretty it is . She is a very plane dress but there is something that catches peoples eye.

Has anyone seen a traditional two deerskin strap dress worn at any pow wows? This style of dress was common among the Cree, Ojibwe and Metis people of the Great Lakes in the past but sadly, I have never seen a contemporary version of one worn in the circle.
