Tribal Collection Review RemarksOctavius Seowtewa during collection review visit Nov. 16 and 17, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 3”): This type of dress is meant to be worn under a manta dress (yadonanne). This particular example is made of a very sheer fabric, but if it were made of a heavier fabric (like cotton), it could also be worn by itself.
