NEW YORK - An exhibit of 55 dresses from tribes in the Plains, Plateau and Great Basins regions opens Sept. 26 at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian.

The show is called “Identity by Design: Tradition, Change and Celebration in Native Women’s Dresses.”

Dress designs include full skirts to allow for horseback riding, an outfit to mark a girl’s passage to womanhood, dresses worn for ceremonial dances, and styles developed to identify membership in tribes or societies for women gifted in beadwork or other arts.
