| Commentaires : | Children of wealthy families often had their umbilical cords sewn into special pouches; snake- shaped for boys; turtle-shaped for girls. The children wore these on their left shoulders, above their hearts. It kept the spirit of their mothers close and gave them courage in their young lives. -from Blackfoot Traveling exhibit label |
