Tribal Collection Review RemarksJim Enote and Octavius Seowtewa during collection review visit June 10 and 11, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 2”): This is a depiction of Wakyashi Kokko (Cow Kokko). He dances with the Wodem Thla Dance Group (Mixed Dance Group). It should be noted that he does not wear a kilt. He wears a deer hide that is wrapped so that the deer’s neck is in the back. Two of the legs are tied together in the front as a way of securing the hide onto the wearer.
The artist, Lebeck Eustace, is the son of Newmani Eustace (see IAF.P56).
