This here is a piece made by Kevin Peters. He used to use this just in dancing but it is another good example of how are people still carry on in doing beadwork in the old styles and keeping up the old designs. There is still a lot of admiration for the way our people did things a long time ago. We do our best to still carry on and conduct those same ways. This one is actually from a piece of téhey. Téhey was a trade cloth and trade cloth was sought after because of this white border that was on it. It is a real interesting process that they used to utilize in making the trade cloth. The Nez Perce didn’t make trade cloth but they traded for it and it was traded into our people. They always liked this little white border that was on it. The way that it is prepared is that you put a piece of canvas over this and you sew it so that it makes a sturdy edge or there were a few different reasons why they did this. That is why it is purple on the bottom side right here, because it was curled under like that and then sewed and then it is dipped into dye. Other people across the world they would take and cut that off but the Nez Perce were quite fond of that. Nez Perce and other Plateau nations, even other nations down throughout the United States. They really admired that and so it was left on.
