In 1924, US President Calvin Coolidge signed into law the Indian Citizenship Act, which granted American citizenship to members of Native American Tribes. In response, many items produced by Native American artists began to include representations of the Stars & Stripes. This beaded belt is made from a 40-inch-long, three-inch-wide leather base, possibly rawhide, and ornamented with light purple, cut glass beads, around size 5, using a rosy-purple colored glass often used by the Crow Tribe in that time period. In three places there are two US flag motifs with poles crossed against a green beaded background. The leather closures are fastened with hammered brass tacks. The beadwork needs to be stabilized (re-tied) in a few places, but the entire belt is in otherwise good condition. See photos for design details and condition.
