There's a picture of my great-grandfather that's on it.
I acquired it in '79.
APPRAISER: Is this him right here, in the vest?
GUEST: Yes.
APPRAISER: Do you know how he got it?
GUEST: I do not.
I know that he was Sioux.
I know that he was in Rosebud and Pine Ridge, uh, at the time, in 1906, when this picture was taken.
My dad, when he had this framed, made that plaque.
The "Burning Breast" is something that he's always, in the family, called it.
APPRAISER: It is Sioux.
It's from the eastern band, the Santee, by the Minnesota border.
The beads are hand-stitched on to what we call brain-tanned deer skin.
The vest is not a tribal design.
It's something that was picked up from non-Indians in the 1840s, 1850s.
But after 1870, everybody wanted a vest; Indian and non-Indian, and they wanted them beaded.
These are abstracted spring prairie flowers.
That's the reason I know it's Santee.
It's very particular to what they do.
You see it on a lot of their beadwork.
The flags, a lot of that was to recognize there was a dominating culture that they had to deal with.
GUEST: Mm.
APPRAISER: And you had a lot of military stations throughout those areas.
So, it was a good market.
The beadwork is one of the reasons we can date it fairly close.
These beads here, they're made out of metal.
They're faceted beads.
And they became popular in the late 1880s and pretty much died out because of supply after 1900.
If this was in a gallery, $6,000 to $8,000.
GUEST: All right.
Yeah.
Nice.
Great.
APPRAISER: And it's great that, that your family kept it so well.
GUEST: Yeah, that's great to know.
