Artist Displays Native American Children's Regalia at Charleston Antique Mall

Artist, Laurieta Carter, is presenting her impressive display of Native American children's regalia at the Charleston Antique Mall in Las Vegas. Carter, a member of the Las Vegas Paiute tribe, has been making Pow Wow regalia worn in ceremonies and dance competitions for about 13 years. Carter said that along with the movements and precision of the dancer, the regalia is part of the judging criteria in dance competitions.
The Jingle Dress shown in the photo above is predominately turquoise and yellow. The trimmings are metal cones made from tobacco tin lids to create jingling sounds as the dancer moves. The Fancy Shawl and the Grass Dancer Dress are also shown in the display along with many other Native American ceremonial regalia Carter hand created for her four children.
The display correlates with the 100 Years of Fashion Exhibit at the Charleston Antique Mall, 307 W. Charleston Blvd in Las Vegas. Open daily, the free exhibit runs through April 18, 2009.
