Group 10:  Clothing and Medicine

Women made their families' clothing from deer or elk hides and later, from buffalo skins.  They often adorned buckskin with fringes and decorated their clothing with beautiful quillwork.  When the Cheyenne encountered European traders, they acquired glass beads, which eventually replaced the quills as decoration.

TASK:  Your task is to gather information about the Cheyenne's clothing and medicine.   From the information you gather from your book,  you will create a presentation with the following slides.  Use the same titles as are listed on the slides.
