late 19th centuryIncluded is a notarized letter attesting to the chain of custody:
White Eagle's grandson, McKinley Horse Chief Eagle (son of Horse Chief Eagle) sold the described shirt and leggings to J.H Galanter of Galanter Loan Office, Kay County, Oklahoma. The Galanter Loan Office then sold the shirt to H.T. Lawrence in 1948.
White Eagle (Ponca, 1840-1914) was the hereditary leader among the Ponca Nation during the late 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. He guided the Ponca from their homeland in Nebraska to Indian Territory in Oklahoma, during their removal in 1877. After the relocation, White Eagle helped rebuild the tribal dynamics and remained their leader for the next 50 years. Before his death, he passed leadership to his son Horse Chief Eagle. (Bruce E. Johansen, "White Eagle," The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, www.okhistory.org (accessed February 09, 2018). - Shipping Info
