How many of you wear your own tribal clothes, or do you wear regalias from a different tribe? And if so, how were you given the right to wear those clothes?
I wear Ponca, Otoe, and Sac & Fox clothes. These are my tribe's clothing that I wear whenever I dance. My mom is full blood Ponca and my dad is Sac & Fox, Pawnee and Otoe. My girls are Comanche and the above tribes. My girls were dressed Ponca, but dance in their Sac & Fox and Otoe clothes most of the time.
When I got married, 19 years ago, I was given Comanche clothes by my husbands relatives. I have only worn these on a few occasions. My Buckskin dress was made by Florence Chasenah, and I have worn that several times but gave it to my oldest daughter. We also have been given a jingle dress, by my sister from Minnesota, and one of my daughters wears this on occasion, but mostly we stay with our own clothes. My dad has three adopted daughters, who he gave the right to wear our clothes. Alice Ann Kaulaity, Sharon BrokeShoulder and Lisa Ewalk. We dressed them and gave them a set of ribbonwork to wear. We fed the people when we did these things for them. They wear their clothes with respect and I am proud to call them my sisters.
