Hi there! ♥ We were at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, and one of their museums was a native peoples museum. I don't think I took any pictures of beadwork, though! I'll see if any are in mom's pics when they're developed. I will say that there was some lovely stuff. There were bags I would have sworn had Dutch designs on them (roses and things) but were vintage native American.
Oh, and don't worry about the elk! Apparently they drop those antlers and then grow new ones on a regular basis. I, too, was feeling badly for all those dead elk, but they don't have to be killed to get 'em.
The Buffalo Bill historical Center did have a room full of dead critters, though, which made me very sad. A walrus! ::snif::
And all ancestors are interesting, I think! That's very cool, about the Gatling guns. :) I always joke that on my mom's side they were all hillbillies and all different nationalities (Scots, Irish, German, you name it) but my dad is descended directly from a man who came over in 1630 as an indentured servant, and the Bennetts are still in debt (haha). Anyway, I have several ancestors who fought in the French and Indian War, the Revolution, War of 1812, Civil War, you name it. I have had talks with the DAR because I'm eligible, but am not quite sure what DAR membership involves.

Thanks for looking, baby!
