Tribal Collection Review RemarksJim Enote and Octavius Seowtewa during collection visit in July 2017: This is a depiction of a Sayadasha (Long Horn) dance group. The dancers, from left to right, are Yamu-Hak-Du (Stick on Head), Sayadasha, Hututu, and another Yamu-Hak-Du. The two Yamu-Hak-Du dancers are wearing deerskins wrapped around their waists. Sayadasha and Hututu are wearing cotton kilts with blue cloth panels on them. The pink object in the foreground is a Sayadasha altar, which indicates that the dance is taking place during Shalako. Sayadasha and Hututu are carrying deer scapulas in their right hands.
