Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Primitive Indian Dresses
Hello in the camp
It seems we have a difference of opinion here. All I can say Linda believe
me; Jill and I have done an a lot of research on Indian women's dress. Jill
much more then I beings how I'm the one who wares the pants around here
(after she tells me witch pare to put on). We have had the opportunity to
handle museum peace. The sinew was used for the declaration and the body was
sewn with a thong. A running stitch down the side and a whip stitched over
the shoulder. The dress is sewn in side out so none of the stitches show on
the out side. They look as Thu they are sewn with sinew but they are not. If
Jill was here she could give you more in foe on it.
Cliff there are ways to make the two hide dress and use three hides. Not all
women back then were as short as Jill. What do you think is under all those
bead across the bust of a lot of those dress? The seem. The two hide is
really the name for the stile of dress not the number of hides it took the
make every one of those dress. People and deer are the same now as back then
they come in different sizes.
See ya on the trail

Lanny,
Did a little more reading and it confirms what you found. The dictionary
even gives a recipe for making it. It is mercuric sulfide (HgS). Says it is
mostly found near the surface of volcanic and hot spring areas. Deposits in
California, Nevada, China, Spain and Yugoslavia.
Having said that, I must also say that I grew up in Vermilion County,
Illinois. There are extensive deep mines there for coal and zinc. To get to
the coal, one has to go through a heavy layer of red shale. There are old
mine heaps of it all over the county. There is evidence that this was ground
and used as a pigment by the Indians in the area, Kickapoo and Piankashaw
being the most prevalent. Put two and two together and I assumed it was
vermilion.
The old salt works outside of Danville where Gurdon Hubbard got his trade
goods for the American Fur Co. are located in an area where this shale is a
surface outcropping. The non-running water located there is even red.
I think shale is essentially petrified clay and there are several nice
deposits of blue clay in the area. We used to dig it out of the hillside in
the woods where we foraged as kids and make clay pots out of it. Most of the
rivers and streams in the area have shale bottoms.
