Indian Arts and Crafts Board representatives bought it that year from the Tipi Shop at the Sioux Indian Museum in Rapid City, South Dakota; it stayed in the Board's headquarters collection at the Department of the Interior until 2000, when it was transferred to the National Museum of the American Indian.
