Plains Indians art exhibit

[Aaron H]

My wife and I went to a special exhibit about the plains Indians at the Nelson Atkins museum in Kansas City. There was a whole lot of really cool, interesting stuff there.  But much to my dismay there were ZERO bows on display. I thought some of you would be interested in seeing some pictures.  I have some information on some of this stuff, but not all of it. If there is something you would like more info on, just ask and I will try to be of some help.

Thanks for sharing the pics, I really enjoyed them.
It must have been really cool seeing it all in person.
Kinda strange there were no bows.

My wife and I went to Washington DC for Thanksgivings a few years go. We spent most of out time in museums and I was amazed how few bows were on display. Even in the Museum of the American Indians. There was a wall case full od firearms that were used against the Native Americans but very few bows.
 Thanks for posting these pics. I love seeing this old stuff. The quill work horse mask(hood) is way cool.

Thanks for the pictures.  That last war club looks like it could have been the inspiration for the war club in the Last of the Mohicans movie.
