1800s Native American School Uniform Twill Cotton Hand Beaded Cree Indian Girls Dress

Incredible piece of historical clothing. Museum quality.

This piece is rare as it is made of army twill cotton with metal donut buttons.

It was most likely a school uniform that was customized later by herself or a family member.

Matching waist belt. Back of metal snap closures reads 'Pat June 1889'
