Half leggings

A pair of beaded Dakota-Metis half leggings, probably from the Red River region of North Dakota, Minnesota, and Manitoba, made in the mid 1800s. The leggings are beaded on their front faces with a series of standalone fantasy floral and double-curved motifs typical of Dakota-Metis (as well as Santee Dakota and some Crow) beadwork decoration. Each legging is bordered in a beaded checkerboard motif.

Hallway of Pioneer Hotel

A hallway inside the Pioneer Hotel, July 6, 1960. “Cage Hotels” were essentially plywood cubicles with chicken wire covering the tops to prevent would-be thieves. The Pioneer Hotel rented out rooms by the week and month at rates much cheaper than most apartments, albeit with few. While the people who used these boardinghouses were often classified as homeless, many actually lived in the same room for decades. Photograph by Dick Palen.
