More about the book
Focusing on a unique historical event, this book details the process of Southern Cheyenne women tanning cow hides for a 19th-century tipi, as documented by anthropologist James Mooney in 1903. The tipi, now preserved and hidden in the Chicago Field Museum, serves as a tangible link to the past. Author Jaime Jackson, an experienced tanner, combines Mooney's notes with his own research to revive this essential Plains Indian craft. This work serves as a companion to Jackson's "Buckskin Tanner," which further explores traditional tanning techniques.
