Description

The Arapaho Necklace

Long, soft, chocolate deerskin… braided, knotted… and accompanied with 4 cross strands of bronzite, howlite, and silver-tone beads; accented with a rustic, silver-tone arrowhead pendant.  (Adjustable, with a slip-bead neckpiece.)

The Arapaho were known as “People of the Sky” or “Cloud People” by their Cheyenne allies.  They were also known as “Blue Sky” or “Blue Cloud People” by the Dakota and Lakota Native Americans.  Perhaps it’s for the beautiful skies in Wyoming where they lived once… free… “People of their Own Kind”… as they’ve also been described.

This necklace is definitely “its own kind”… free as the blue skies…  and (respectfully) named the “Arapaho”.
