Dressing the Big Queen of The Young Cheyenne
This page has been put together to show the order in which the Big Queen of the Young Cheyenne dresses in her Indian Parade Dress. The Big Queen for the Young Cheyenne, for the year 2000, is 11 year old Sharion Landry. The Big Chief of the tribe is Thomas "Bo" Dean. We gratefully acknowledge the help of the Big Queen, her father, "Bear" Laundry, and his wife, Gilda, and other members of the family in the making of this page.
We'll bring the larger images online soon.
The Big Queen's suit starts with her pants |
Next she puts on her Jacket.
|
Now she puts on her boots. In her own words, "One at a time". |
In order, she puts on her "skirt". Also known as an "apron". |
On her head the wig is now placed. |
Now comes the "Cape". Talk about weight.
|
She now don's a "Dickie " |
After a head piece is placed over the wig for personal reasons, the head piece is next. |
the gloves are placed on her hands, "one at a time". |
All she needs at this point, is the staff. |
Talk about beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice. The Big Queen now swings her fans as she completes the costume which she parades, and masks with her tribe.
