Join us for a one-of-a-kind experience with Luella Brien as she constructs an Apsáalooke elk tooth dress while discussing its cultural significance. In the Apsáalooke culture, an elk tooth dress traditionally conveys status and wealth. Luella is a journalist, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief for Four Points Press, and an avid dressmaker for her daughter and nieces. Louella's daughter is wearing an Elk Tooth Dress.
