At the Happy Canyon Night Show in Pendleton, Oregon, 18-year-old Princess Manaia Wolf wore a century-old antelope hide dress passed down through five generations of her family. First treasured by her grandmother, 79-year-old Alvina Huesties, and later by her mother, Althea Wolf, the 111-year-old beaded garment holds the energy, laughter, and stories of the women who crafted and cared for it. Wearing the living heirloom connects past tribal traditions directly to today's community.
