These politically incorrect Indian Chief Headdresses were made as a give-away advertisement for the White Castle Hamburger restaurants in the mid-20th century. We know that they were offered before 1963, because there is no zip code in the address.
We love the earth tone coloring of the feathers and the bead-printed bands. But the extra-special feature is that these can be adapted for children or adults to wear!
On the front it reads:
ME BIG CHIEF! - BUY ONLY White Castle ALL-BEEF HAMBURGERS
On the back are the instructions for sizing for an adult or a child to wear. The bottom band is detachable and the pre-punched slots make it easy to size correctly for your head.
The measurements before you assemble the headdress are 15 inches wide by 6-5/8 inches high Made from pliable, but sturdy cardstock, these are in superb condition for their age, showing only slight discoloration on the back, as only a true vintage item would age.
The green printing on the back indicates that these were produced by the Paperlynen Company of Columbus, Ohio.

Abalone Smudge Bowl
Whether you are performing a cleansing ceremony before healing, or just because you enjoy the scent, you'll enjoy our smudging supplies. It is important to cleanse the soul and body of bad spirits, negative energies and thoughts. These traditional items are prepared in much the same manner as they have been for generations of Native Americans. The herbs are quite aromatic, even if just displayed and never burned. Smudging involves taking the smoke in to your hands and brush or rub it over your body.
Our sage, copal and cedar bundle measures between 6 and 8 inches long and is tightly woven (ties may differ). Our combination smudge stick brings together the cleansing characteristics of sage and the connection to our ancestors represented by cedar. Copal is known for it's purifications and protection properties. This is just the right size for personal use or for use in a small sweat lodge. This smudge is prepared by hand from natural materials, so please allow for variation.
These wild crafted herbs are gathered into a bundle by the Kumeyaay Indians of Baja California, Mexico, and recognized as an authentic native Indian made product. The selected herbs follow traditional Indian customs practiced by generations for ceremonial purposes. The pointed end of the bundle, while held of a bowl with the sand is then ignited with fire. Blowing on the glowing surface will provide the fragrance smoke. Saying a prayer for someone in need while gently wanding the bundle around the area, will enhance the enjoyment of this ancient ritual. After smudging, rub out the ignited ember in the bowl of sand then place the bundle on your sacred alter for future use.
Never leave smudge burning unattended and please use caution. Keep away from children and never place on a flammable surface.

Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha - Patron of the Environment, Ecology & Loss of Parents

More Native American
Kateri, or Catherine, Tekakwitha was the daughter of a Christian Native American Algonquin woman who was captured by members of the Iroquois tribe. She was also married to a non-Christian Mohawk chief. She was orphaned at the age of four, during a smallpox epidemic - and that is why she is the patron of those who have lost her parents.
She survived smallpox, but was left with a scarred face and impaired eyesight. Kateri was converted and baptized in 1676 by Jesuit missionary, Father Jacques de Lambertville. Her relatives abused and exiled her because of her new faith, but this did not change her mind or sway her strength of conviction.
Three years later she escaped to the Christian Native American village of Sault-Sainte-Marie after surviving a grueling journey of 200 miles of wilderness. She then made vow of chastity.
Known for spirituality, miracles and her austere lifestyle, Kateri's grave became a pilgrimage site and place of miracles for Christian Native Americans and French colonists. She is the first Native American Indian to have been proposed for canonization as a saint.
This highly detailed three dimensional charm measures 3/4 inch high by 1/8 inch wide.

Signed Sterling Silver Gecko Charm
More Native American Indian
More Animals of All Kinds
Some time ago, we were lucky enough to drive through the gorgeous land of the Navajo Indians and purchase some wonderful pieces of handmade sterling silver. We do not have the official documentation that this was purchased as a Native American Indian product. So, you'll have to trust us. We paid a fair price to the artist directly.
Each gecko has been stamped with the artists logo on the back and marked Sterling. And, each is a little bit different, but most are very close to the one pictured. This is an elegantly made piece, measuring 1-3/8 inch from hanging hole to the tip of his tail and about 1/2 inch wide from toe to toe.
The lizard or gecko in myth has come to symbolize sensitivity and premonition. Because the gecko can regenerate a tail if lost, s/he also represents rebirth and the circle of life.

Mini Dream Catcher
More Metaphysical
Dreams have always held many meanings us all, and in particular to Native American Indians. A very old Ojibwa tradition is to hang a dream catcher in each family's lodge. Both good and bad dreams float in the night air. A hanging dream catcher moves catches dreams as they float by.
Sweet dreams know the way to their dreamers and slip through the hole in the center of the swaying dream catcher, then slide down so softly that often the dreamer below doesn't even realize that s/he is dreaming.
Bad dreams are not as wise. They do not know their way to their dreamers, so they become entangled in the dream catcher's web, much like spiders' prey. These nightmares perish with the first light of the dawn.
Most traditional dream catchers are much larger than ours, at 1-1/2” to 2”. Wear one as a necklace just add a strand to protect your daydreams. Certainly, one would make a delightful embellishment to a western-themed project. Or, add one to a card as an extra gift.
These are hand-made, so each is unique. All are earth-tone. Please let us choose one for you.
These dream catchers are imported. They are not Native American Indian produced, a Native American Indian product or the product of a particular Native American Indian, Native American Indian Tribe or Native American Indian Arts and Crafts Organization.

Genuine Wampum Tube Bead
More Shells and the Sea
Genuine Quahog Shell
Just the word wampum conjures magical thoughts of long ago. Made from the shell of the quahog clam, wampum was used in trading and ornamentation by the Native Americans and early European traders and settlers in the Americas. The inside of the shells feature gorgeous purple and ivory or white stripings and solids. The purple stripes are indications of the growth of the shell.
Beads made from the purple shell are called suckauhock and were worth twice as much as the ivory or white beads, called wompampeage. We find it quite interesting that the species name for the quahog is the Latin mercinaria mercinaria, which is the root of the word mercenary (one who acts or works for merely reward or money).
The Narragansett Tribes in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic areas were the purveyors of the quahog shells and the beads and other adornments made from them.
We are proud to offer these special tube beads made in the traditional manner by Native Americans and non-Native Americans alike. The beads measure approximately 10mm long by 4mm in diameter and have slim stringing hole that works well with traditional and modern stringing materials.
Two beads shown for illustration only. Because the beads are made from natural shell, there will be variation, so please let us chose one for you.

Natural Color Simulated Sinew - 20 yard Spool
Also Available in 100 Foot Spool
Sinew is a staple of historic Native American costume and household creations. The original natural sinew was made of the shredded fibers animal tendon. Used as cordage and a tying medium, it is naturally quite strong. It also shrank as it dried, providing a tight seal in any project.
Our simulated sinew certainly resembles the natural animal version. This synthetic version is made of 4-ply nylon cord. It looks and splits like the real thing. Super strong, we highly recommend this product for heavy sewing and construction of craft projects.
If you're thinking of making your own dreamcatchers, you'll want to use this for the webbing for an authentic look and feel.
Our simulated sinew is natural colored and each spool is about 20 yards long.

Made from genuine American copper Indian head cents from yesteryear, you'll just love these buttons for clothing, book closures, bracelet and necklace clasps and more. These are made from real copper pennies and have a shank on the reverse to allow for attaching to you final project.
Of course each of these is different as they are authentic pennies that have been circulated for commerce, so the wear on each will be different and dates on each vary. They've been highly polished and will be perfect for use right away! Because these coins are no longer minted (they were only produced between 1859 and 1909), they will make any project ever the more special.
We especially love these because of the coins themselves: centered on the front is an engraved Indian head with a feather bonnet. On the band of the bonnet is the word
LIBERTY
- a message of the utmost importance. The Indian head cent is not just collectible for its beauty, but for its historic meaning - at the time it was circulated, it was one of the very few coins that Americans had available to them for transacting business.
Two buttons are shown for illustration only.

Vintage Hallowe'en Mask - Native American Indian Chief
More Masks
These paper card-stock masks uniquely represent the graphical art of the 40s, 50s and 60s popular in the US. Their vivid colors are almost as vibrant as when they were produced, even after all of these years!
We know that these masks are probably politically incorrect today. And, we certainly do not want to offend anyone!
Such masks were popular styles in the mid 20th Century. Each is brilliantly printed in bright colors and with interesting detail. We believe that these are chromolithographed items, but we cannot be sure
There are perforated tabs on either side to punch out to add a ribbon or elastic for someone to wear these as masks, as intended. However, we think they are just wonderful as framed items or as memorabilia of the past. Many of the masks boast tabs that are still intact, never having been punched out. However, some of the perforated items have been lost through the years.
The eyes are perforated as well. The wearer would punch out the eyes (so s/he could actually see when wearing the mask).
Each of the masks measures about 7-1/2 inches wide (ear to ear) by about 10 inches high. Of course, there is a notch for the wearer’s nose.
These were a fantastic find! They are old store stock and have never been used. The woman from whom we bought these tells SilverCrow that she sold quite a lot of these some time ago. She couldn’t remember if it was in the 50s or 60s, as she raised children in both decades and dressed even more children for Halloween!
We have sorted out the very damaged masks, and most are in pristine condition. We will ship the ones in the best condition first, so, be sure to order right away - when they're gone - they're gone!

Natural Quahog half-Shells (Wampum)
Most often associated with Rhode Island, the quahog bi-valve clam is used for food as well as to make jewelry. At one time, wampum beads (fashioned from the purplish-cream inside of the shell) were used in trade between the settlers and the natives in North America.
These elegant shells are beautiful as is, giving a special touch to any shell collection. But they also shine as display dishes for pearls and jewelry, smaller shells and beads.
Native American Indian wampum was colored both purple and off-white, but the largest association is with the purple shells. All of our half-shells have some purple and the exterior is left rough, as found in nature.
As far as we know, the quahog shells offered to you by SilverCrow are the bi-product of someone's dinner. The hand-dug clams were eaten, and, rather than waste the shells, we have purchased the most elegant ones.
