NO. l8 HILLERS-POWELL INDIAN PHOTOGRAPHS — STEWARD 1 5 



Some men's shirts seem to have been constructed of one piece of 

 skin, like a poncho. No doubt whether one or two pieces were used 

 depended upon the size of the skins available. The Kaibab shirt on 

 the man in plate 9, b, and on the man kneeling on the left in plate 

 19, a, appear to be one-piece. The Ute shirt in plate 27, b, is 

 probably the same, though evidently made of cloth. The Las Vegas 

 shirt (pi. 5, b) seems to be poncho style but has a heavy fringe across 

 the chest. Several boys' shirts are evidently one-piece, having a 

 perforation for the head and the edges brought together and fastened 

 below the arms, with all edges fringed: the Moapa (pi. 2, d), Las 

 Vegas (pi. 5, a) and Kaibab (pi. 14, a). 



A shirt constructed like a jacket with the front open is shown on 

 the man seated in the middle foreground of the Kaibab photograph, 

 plate 17, a. 



In addition to heavy fringe, some men's shirts have ornamental 

 designs. The most popular style was a band of geometric figures 

 running from the back across each shoulder and down the chest and 

 a similar band running down the outside of each sleeve. The designs 

 are geometric, usually simple bands of squares and rectangles. So 

 far as can be seen, these are probably made of beads. Such ornamen- 

 tation appears among the Kaibab on a man who is shown in plate 1 1 , 

 plate 17, b, and, shooting a bow, in plate 18, a. It also is seen among 

 the Ute, plate 27, b. 



Breechcloiits. — Men wore comparatively long breechclouts. These 

 are illustrated among the Moapa (pi. 1, b), the Las Vegas (pi. 4, b) , 

 and the Uintah Ute (pis. 26, a, 27, a, b, 29, b, 31, b, and, appearing 

 under the shirt, in 29, a) . 



Men's leggings. — Men's leggings are shown among all groups. 

 Usually these are fringed down the outside of the leg along the seam, 

 for example, the Moapa (pi. 2, a, b, d) , the Las Vegas (pi. 6, b), the 

 Kaibab (pis. 8, 17, a, b, 18, a, c, 19, b), the St. George (pis. 20, b, c, 

 22, a, c, d) and the Ute (pis. 27, b, 28, a, 29, a). The leggings in 

 plate 19, b, are also fringed on the bottom. Those in plate 17, a, also 

 have a painted ( ?) design of diamonds near the bottom and those in 

 plate 18, c, have beaded designs down the outside of the leg. 



A few leggings have the fringe down the front of the leg, e.g., the 

 Kaibab boy (pi. 14, a). 



War costume. — The Uintah Ute photograph, plate 26, a, judging 

 from its title, "The Warrior," and its general appearance, probably 

 represents war costume. The man is naked but for the chest orna- 

 ment, which is probably of manufactured bone brought to these people 

 by the traders, the cartridge belt, breechclout, and anklet. His fore-
