Joslyn
 Cultural traditions and innovations are revealed in Joslyn Art Museum's collection of Native American clothing. A Sioux dress with ornate beading is typical of traditional Lakota ceremonial clothing worn during the reservation era. And this Omaha hide jacket is said to have belonged to Logan Fontenelle, who accompanied a delegation of tribal leaders that signed the government treaty establishing the Omaha Reservation. The jacket shows the dynamic nature of native culture, combining traditional materials and methods with Euro-American tailoring and trade goods. And these Kiowa tennis shoes marry traditional techniques to contemporary materials and uses. The Native American adaptations are art treasures of Nebraska at Joslyn Art Museum.
