This "Prayer Bag", often referred by the Hocak Tribe as a Cedar Bag, is handmade and hand-beaded by Winnebago Elder and veteran Velma Alaniz. The design is inspired by tribal member and spiritual leader, the late Stuart "Bully" Snake from the Winnebago Native American Church's original cedar bag. Hocaks use cedar from cedar trees (a sacred plant) to fill the bag along with prayer and later burn the cedar while using the smoke to send prayers to the Creator above. Bag holders today can open the bag to add or release prayers, good reflections, and gratitude.

"Sioux Warrior," a painting by Sioux City artist Darren Maurer, was commissioned by ship sponsor Mary Winnefeld to hang in the USS Sioux City. The print depicts a young warrior with black, white and red face paint. Maurer hired a man from Winnebago, Nebraska, knowledgeable about war paint, to model for reference photos. The man had short hair, so Maurer used his daughter's long, straight black hair as a reference for the warrior's hair. A limited edition print series was created; this is #246 of #250 and is signed by the artist. The original oil hung in the USS Iowa and will be returned to the Sioux City Public Museum's permanent collection (which includes an exhibit on HoChunk artist Chuck Raymond).

This brilliantly-colored metal print of a Men's Traditional Dancer is based on a photograph by multi-media artist Ernie Ricehill, proud member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and Omaha Tribes. This fine art photographer is featured at 3 Rivers Art Gallery, located in downtown Sioux City in the Ho-Chunk Centre. Born in Winnebago, NE; raised in Sioux City, IA and currently based in Littleton, CO, Ernie is known to many in the Siouxland region through many roles, including the first Native curator at the Sioux City Public Museum. He and his daughter, Savannah Berlyn Anderson, share space at 3 Rivers, home to other Native artists, also.

Contemporary artist Savannah Berlyn Anderson has created this butterfly gathering nectar image on ledger paper from 1927. This framed watercolor measures 5x7 and is a beautiful contemporary interpretation of Ledger Art. Historical origins of Ledger Art are deeply rooted among the Great Plains Tribes of North America, particularly during the late 19th century. As traditional ways of life underwent radical transformations, Indigenous artists adapted their artistic practices to new materials and environments. This adaptation wasn't a surrender, but a testament to incredible resilience and an enduring commitment to preserving Indigenous Identity. Savannah's work is shown at the Angel DeCora Museum in Winnebago, NE and is available for purchase at 3 Rivers Gallery in Sioux City's Ho-Chunk Centre.

Native Americans believe that the older the quilts get, the more valuable they are. Quilts are often displayed in bedrooms, on beds and on couches, or chairs in living rooms. Ms. Velma proclaims herself the only Winnebago woman who still hand-quilts!

This brilliant beaded medallion is representative of the tradition of beaded or quilled discs made by several Plains tribes to adorn the exterior of tipis, positioned to represent the four cardinal points.  Several Northern Plains and Woodlands tribes made beaded versions of earlier quilled discs. They are prized for their well-conceived designs and quality workmanship.  It should be noted that the Winnebago people are not part of a Plains Tribe, but are a Woodland Tribe.  They are one of the two federally recognized tribes of Ho-Chunk, along with the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin. Tribe members often identify as Hoocągra, meaning "People of the Parent Speech" in their own language.  Beaded medallions are common throughout much of the North American continent and have become an increasingly popular form of adornment among many Native American peoples.
