c.1870-1890.  Bannock parfleche case.  This is one of the very few parfleches attributed to the Bannocks in any collection.  Note that the colors basically echo those used in Shoshone parfleches, but the long fringe is not found in Shoshone work.   Collected by Emile Granier on Wind River Indian Reservation, WY.  Accessioned in 1891.  Cat. No. E200421.  Courtesy NMNH, Suitland, MD.
