Northern Plains Indian beaded gauntlet gloves are a distinctive form of traditional Native American craftsmanship, primarily associated with tribes from the Northern Plains region (such as the Sioux, Cree, Cheyenne, and others), as well as neighboring Plateau and Great Basin groups. These are not everyday work gloves but elaborate, decorative riding gauntlets that combine functionality with artistic expression.
