Plains Indian History and Culture, an engaging collection of articles and essays, reflects John C. Ewers multifaceted approach to Indian history, an approach that combines his far-reaching interest in American history generally, his professional training in anthropology, and his many decades of experience as a field-worker and museum curator. The author has drawn on interviews collected during a quarter-century of fieldwork with Indian elders, who in recalling their own experiences during the buffalo days, revealed unique insights into Plains Indian life. Ewers use his expertise in examining Indian-made artifacts and drawings as well as photographs taken by non-Indian artists who had firsthand contact with Indians. He throws new light on important changes in Plains Indian culture, on the history of intertribal relations, and on Indian relation with whites—traders, missionaries, soldiers, settlers, and the U.S. Government.

The purpose of this study was twofold. One purpose was to investigate the clothing worn by the adult members of the Wasco and Warm Springs Indians. Six periods of time were examined: Period I - 1805-1811 Period II - 1870's-1880's Period III - 1900-1905 Period IV - 1950's-192-0's Period 7 - 1960's-1971 Period VI - 1975-1976 Each period was assessed as to clothing and accessories worn, composition of clothing and accessories, and motifs employed. Comparisons were made as to clothing similarities and differences among the six periods. For both the women and man basic clothing items remained relatively constant, with variations being most apparent in decorative detail and clothing ac.:eeeories, The second purpose of this study was to determine if similarities exist between the present-day festival dress of the Wasco and Warm Sings Indians, and traditional Western Plains Indian dress. A number of similarities were found, primarily in basic costume items including the wing dress, poncho shirt, and moccasins. It was concluded that a diffusion of material objects has transpired bringing items that originated in the Indian Plains of the east to the Plateau in the west. Throughout the 200 years that trade items have been diffused, the reasons for the existence of a diffusion system have changed. Today Indian clothing consists largely of items originally worn primarily by the Plains Indians. The Wasco and Warm Springs Indians appear to play the standardized Indian role in the presence of whites, and wear many of the same basic clothing items during their festivals that were worn by the Western Plains Indians during the middle of the 19th century.
