The bandolier and bag are not Lakota design. The war shirt is not Lakota as the design down the sleeve usually beaded with Lakota symbols. This image was posed using objects that are not Lakota. We are taught that each feather represents a significant action taken by the person wearing the head dress, and again wearer must have had many victories.
I am looking at Sitting Bulls face and not a happy moment.
