Scope and Content Notes
Two couples dance – each with the other's partner – perhaps, at a social occasion at the fort. The Scout wears his uniform and leather boots while the Cheyenne or Arapaho woman wears a mixture of traditional and reservation clothing and boots. From the article: Preserving History in the Southern Plains: Cheyenne and Arapaho Ledger Drawings from Fort Reno, Plains Indian Art, Created in Community. Emma I.
