Sioux Northern Plains beaded leggings are iconic examples of traditional Native American craftsmanship from the Lakota (Teton Sioux), Dakota, or other Sioux groups of the Northern Plains.
These leggings, often made for women or men, were typically crafted from native-tanned hide (such as deer, elk, or buffalo brain-tanned leather) for softness and durability. They were decorated with intricate glass beadwork using "lane stitch" or sinew-sewn techniques, featuring vibrant colors from trade beads introduced in the 19th century (like white, red-white heart, blue, green, and yellow).
