 Culture-> Tribal Customs: Elk-teeth dress is epitome of Crow status and style

Keywords: elk toothed dress elk-tooth dress Crow clothing crow dress crow crafts Crow culture Crow tribe elk-teeth dress crow traditions crow wedding dress Crow woman elk canine teeth Winona Yellowtail Plenty Hoops Crow women elk ivories elk canines grandaughter of White Man Runs Him Apsaalooke crow medicine Indian medicines

AUTHOR: James Hagengruber, Billings Gazette

Before the invasion of silk, sequins and designer labels, the highest fashion west of the Mississippi was the elk-teeth dress.

There was no mistaking the status of a Crow woman wearing her tribe's signature gown of blue or indigo trade wool covered by 500 elk canine teeth. They wore their wealth on their sleeves. Because only two teeth from an elk are suitable, each dress represented years of hunting and hard work.



Note: The elk-teeth dress is often worn in the women's traditional dances at northern pow wows today.
