We Honor Our Horses: Native American Horse Regalia 1870 - 1940

Sioux Horse Neck Cover (ca. 1890)

The horse, west of the Missisippi, meant everything to most Native American groups. A safe mount, a mover of camps, a brave buffalo hunter and warrior, and even sustenance when starvation was the alternative - all this the horse gave Native people, and in return, they honored their equine counterparts. Wealth was counted in horses, marriages sealed by horses, horses were stolen from one's enemy as one of the heaviest blows to ego and wealth. Societies built around the honor of the horse became important for warriors. And, once forced to live a life without buffalo, the horse was, for some, the final and only remaining semblance of freedom.

Navajo Germantown Yarn Saddle Throw (ca 1890)

For over a decade Cayuse has found some of the outstanding examples of horse gear, and items celebrating the horse. In honor of the horse, and in anticipation of the exhibit "A Song for the Horse Nation" at the National Museum of the American Indian, we gather together rare, beautiful, humorous and poignant examples of the horse in Native American cultures.
