SIOUX DESIGN ELEMENTS AND PATTERNS

The Sioux design elements shown are based on those given by Wissler in Guide Leaflet Series No. 50, and in the Bulletin of 1904 of the American Museum of Natural History. Salomon's Book of Indian Craft and Indian Lore shows some of the designs. Changes in the presentation of some of the designs have been made as a result of consultation with members of the Sioux Tribe who have some knowledge of their tribal arts.

The designs and patterns include some of those shown by Boas in his book on Primitive Art, and by Kroeber in Ethnology of the Gros Ventre, with others taken directly from museum pieces and from beadwork of recent date.

The moccasin designs are those shown by Wissler in his article on Distribution of Moccasin Decoration Among the Plains Tribes in the Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, with variations and additions suggested by study of interesting specimens.

Contributions to this collection of designs have been received from various sources, and from many individuals who are interested in the Indian handicrafts.
