Sioux Bow and Matching Arrows
Sioux painted bow of ash with the original wrapped gut string. 50” and four matching arrows with original steel points that are attached by copper wrappings rather than sinew. All have original feather fletching with sinew. Arrow shafts are of chokecherry. 24”L. It appears this bow was one sinew backed, painted with dark green. Most probably got wet and peeled off.
Keaton McAlexander acquired around 1980 in an antique store on the reservation in South Dakota. This bow in measurements, description, and paint is a twin to I331, which was a bow recovered at the New Ulm Massacre Site, owned by Red Rode Good, a Lakota warrior from the Lower Sioux Agency. It is also exactly like the Sioux bow and arrows shown on page 134 and 135 of Jim Hamm’s encyclopedia of Native American bows, arrows, and quivers, where it is also shown. Last quarter 19th century.
