Women Warrior Ledger Scarf by Bethany Yellowtail

In Crow culture and various tribes of the plains region, the Women's warbonnet dance or "Shoshone Warbonnet Dance" (as depicted in the art) is a ceremony to honor the young leaders of our indigenous nations. This is the only time a woman is to wear the sacred warbonnet, the dance ceremony is the highest recognition of our mighty Apsáalooke women.

Her work is featured in the Apsáalooke Women and Warriors exhibition.
