The Sioux Shirt in the Derby Collection
In “A Wicasas Shirt In the Derby Collection,” published in Eye of the Angel: Selections
from The Derby Collection, F. Dennis Lessard discusses in depth not only the materials,
construction, and elaborate techniques, but also the proound cultural importance o this
garment. To underscore the signicance attributed such shirts by the Sioux and other Plains
tribes, Lessard uses the term “Wicasas” [“Wicasa’s”] in the title o his essay. In the Dakota and
Lakota languages, “Wicasa” (pronounced wee-CHA-sha) was an adult male who deserved
respect, honor, and esteem. Not only had he accumulated great knowledge and considerable
personal experience, he’d been ully educated in the proper and complex ways o his tribe.
He was a counselor and a provider as well as a warrior who protected the people. He’d won
many battle honors conronting enemies and led a courageous, ethical, principled lie. The
occasion o awarding a shirt o this magnitude was in eect a declaration o the man’s stature
and status or all to witness, and the people deemed an individual o such character worthy
to wear a shirt like this imposing example in the Derby Collection. When worn on special
occasions the shirt served as a decoration o honor—a medal o sorts. Indeed, when the
leaders o his Oglala Band o Lakota (Western Sioux) singled out the legendary Crazy Horse
and three other outstanding young men to be “Shirt Wearers,” each received a shirt similar to
this to denote their elevated positions and responsibilities in their tribe.
The Derby shirt is constructed o three beautiully tanned pronghorn (“antelope”) skins—one
each or the ront and back o the shirt body, and the third divided to orm the two sleeves.
The leg skin o the hides orm appendages o the sleeves, and at the lower corners o the
body. The sleeves are sewn closed or a short distance towards the wrists. Sel ringesenhance most o the margins throughout. The ront and back neck faps are made o red
trade cloth bordered with rows o “lanestitch” beadwork, along with relatively long hide
ringe. Porcupine quillwork in red, yellow, and pale blue (perhaps aded rom darker blue)
covers the shoulder and sleeve strips; typically, a single row o lanestitch beadwork borders
the quillwork. At some time in the distant past, the quilled strips now present on the shirt
replaced wider and longer strips—as evidence o ormer strips can be seen. In the classic
manner, areas o the entire shirt are richly painted yellow ochre or dark blue, which according
to inormation that Tribal inormants gave to Father Peter John Powell represent the earth and
the sky (published in Maurer, Evan, The Native American Heritage, “Beauty For New Lie: An
Introduction to Cheyenne and Lakota Sacred Art,” pp. 47–50, Art Institute o Chicago, 1977).
Numerous “hairlocks” (small bundles) o human hair border the back side o each quilled
sleeve strip and the outer margins o the quilled body strips. The base o each hairlock is
wrapped with porcupine quills, either dyed red or natural white. It was a common custom to
obtain hairlocks rom relatives and riends o the shirt’s owner so that he could be connected
in a material and spiritual way to those who admired him.
A historic photograph o a mature American Indian man wearing the Derby shirt1 was recently
discovered by a European researcher who noticed it on an internet auction site. Unortunately,
the wearer’s name was not indicated and the present location o this photograph is unknown.
However, there may possibly be photographs o the same warrior when he was much
younger. The cardboard rame surrounding this black and white photograph was typical o the
1890-1910 period. It was embossed on the lower right hand side with “Unruh, Avon, SD.” A
preliminary search o the Avon business directory o 1909 identied H.A Unruh’s occupation
as a photographer. There are indications that he worked as early as 1890. For those who love
a good detective story, this represents a wonderul opportunity to explore the origins o the
shirt and positively identiy its owner.
