Designed by artist Gordon White, this scarf is colorful and soft.

For White, "Our art is central to our culture and speaks to who we are as a people. Sharing our art offers insights into our connections with the natural world."

We are delighted to offer this bright piece that will bring warmth and comfort in the cold.

The form of these agreements was nearly identical to the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War between the U.S. and Great Britain.

From 1832 until 1871, American Indian nations were considered domestic, dependent tribes. In 1871, the House of Representatives ceased to recognize individual tribes within the U.S. as independent nations with which the U.S. could contract by treaty. This ended the nearly 100-year-old practice of treaty-making between the U.S. and American Indian tribes.

The online exhibit "Rights of Native Americans" includes a visual timeline of the history of American Indian treaties and Native American activism to defend tribal sovereignty.
