A full scale Native American chief greets visitors to the main
hall at the Holt Museum, top right. Display cases hold Indian artifacts
that became familiar to the explorers as they encountered these
tribes. Top left, a breastplate made with hairpipe beads. Above,
a bison horn, with woven quills, designed to transport fire. Fine
porcupine quill work adorns a martingale used on horses' heads,
right. Lewis and Clark bartered for such examples of fine craftsmanship
to send to President Jefferson.
