(L-R: Percy Old Shoes, Daniel Weasel, AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK: Dan Weasel Moccasin, and Gerald T. Conaty) I brought a sacred headdress to an aaawaahskataiki (ceremonial grandparent) of the women’s Maotoki society. Before leaving the museum, I had stuffed the headpiece with acid-free tissue, carefully folded the trailer around more tissue, and placed the entire piece in an acid-free archival box, padding out space with yet more tissue. When I brought the package into the elder’s home, she gasped with horror. The tissue was rapidly discarded and the headdress was rolled tightly, wrapped in a cloth, and secured with twine. It was, in fact, swaddled, much the way a newborn baby is enclosed for care and protection. Here, again, was an alternative way of understanding what these sacred objects are and how they should be cared for. Over time, I have also come to appreciate that the use of these items is not detrimental to their well- being. In fact, their participation in ceremonies keeps them alive and vibrant.— Gerald T. Conaty Contributors: Gerald T. Conaty, Allan Pard, Jerry Potts, Frank Weasel Head, Herman Yellow Old Woman, Chris McHugh, John W. Ives, and Robert R. Janes Gerald T. Conaty was the director of Indigenous studies at the Glenbow Museum. He leaves as his legacy more than thirty articles and books, including Powerful Images: Portrayals of Native America, co-authored with Sarah E. Boehme. In 2003, he was inducted into the Kainai Chieftainship and given the name Sikapiistamix (Grey Bull).
