Her First Born

A Southern Cheyenne mother holds her infant in a soft cradle with a beaded hood. She wears a cloth dress, German silver garters hold her leggings. Her concho belt has a German silver drop or dragger and carries a beaded awl case, knife sheath and strike-a-light bag.

She looks somberly at her newborn with a face that shows both the tenderness of a mother, and concern for the future of her child. Life on the plains was difficult and things are changing very fast. Her child’s life will be much more different than her’s was. Free shipping in the contiguous United States.
