The model canoe is carved from a solid piece of cedar. The canoe (a) is decorated with red paint around the upper edge and has a small hole in each end. The inscription on the canoe reads, "Model of a Sioux canoe and paddles." The inscription on the paddle reads “Model of Sioux canoe paddle." The paddle (b) is made from soft wood and decorated with red paint. It has a flat circular handle.

This ax might have been made for sale because inlaying the turquoise was something done usually only for trade. The other possibility is it was used solely for dance. However, this type was made throughout the Plains area. The stick has been spilt and encompasses the entire stone and then the hide is wrapped around the handle securing it. Has a tag that reads "Indian stone hammer"

This is a woven, beaded strip possibly for a bandolier bag.

Wide, otter fur headband with a white bead edging, black felt on the inside.

Knife sheath with red, and blue on white beaded designs on one side and white with blue design on the reverse side. There are three tin tinklers at the bottom point and a dangler with two tin tinklers on either side. Sean Standing Bear thought this might possibly be an awl case although it is wider than most awl cases.

This is a classic style of Northern Arapaho cradle except instead of hide it was made of muslin. The quilled disc is a design element that is symbolic for protecting the brain of the baby and is made with sacred colors of red, yellow and black. The lacings represent the baby's ribs, arms, and legs. There are ladder like bands of quillwork that frame the child's face flopping over like braids. The cradle is fashioned over a bent willow hoop. The Arapaho had a Sacred Guild of Quill workers. After initiation quill workers were allowed to make a type of holy embroidery with symbolic designs. Work was restricted to a few objects and four specific colors representing four directions. The cradle is like a tipi as it houses the baby like a tipi houses the family and tribe so both men and women are represented. The disc is a traditional Arapaho design done a lot by the Women's Society of Quill workers. The Shoshone/Arapaho started making these types again in the 1970s and they might still be making them. Possibly matches with cradle strap 05.568.
