This exhibition deals with hidepainting -or painted animal skins-, an artistic practice widespread among the so-called “Plains Indians” of North America (Sioux, Blackfoot, Crow, Apache, Lakota, Arapaho, Kiowa and Cheyenne). Among the various objects on display -parfleches, berry crushers, a quiver, hide-tanning scrapers, a miniature tipi- a painted buffalo hide stands out, analyzed and interpreted by researchers from the Smithsonian Institution in a study coordinated by the ethnographer Candace Greene, PhD. According to that research, the hide, painted with ten autobiographical scenes, was made by several Blackfoot artists at different times, between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
