the etripes extend from the top to the
bottom In a striking way, and the
coyote tail hangs at the bottom as a
part of the trimming. The other
coyote tails make up the rest
of the trimming around the bottom
of the coat, while the cuffs and col
lar ere ma<Ja from the raccoon skins
with one skin and Ull hanging from
tha neck at the back. On each
shoulder Is a design made from the
soft fur of the coyotes’ breasts. The
