Beauty, Honor, and Tradition: The Legacy of Plains Indian Shirts represents a powerful collaboration between two great museums - the National Museum of the American Indian/Smithsonian Institution, and The Minneapolis Institute of Arts - and two curators, father and son members of the A'aninin Indian Tribe of Montana. George P. Horse Capture, and his son, Joseph D. Horse Capture, bring different insights to this project as they explore new relationships among the shirts, the shirtmakers, the historians and scholars, and the audience of Indians and non-Indians alike.

From Library Journal:
The exhibition of Plains Indian shirts, for which this book is the catalog, was assembled by the Horse Captures, father and son, who are affiliated, respectively, with the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Their combined resources provide stunning examples of the honor shirts worn by leaders of Plains tribes in the past and a few from the present. The shirts themselves are featured not so much as a chronological history but with respect to type and to craftsmanship. These prized shirts were handed down ceremonially to the next owner and imbued with the sweat of their wearers as a link with the past. They are made of deerskin, fringed or edged with hair from vanquished foes, and decorated with exquisite beadwork or quilled strips (made by the woman most important to the wearer). Heavy on symbolism, the shirts draw attention to the weight of tradition and to the devoted craftsmanship involved in their making, as well as to the pride with which they were worn. For larger American Indian collections. Gay Neale, Meredithville, VA
