☩ It would be surprising to know that one of the most popular trade items in the trade with whites were military and civil buttons that the Indians in most cases used not for their intended purpose, but as a decorative device to embelish their garments, headdresses, horsegear, war paraphernalia, etc., Similarly in this choker «Ermine Tails Military Scout War Medicine Choker» (SKU 2007.16.01) the real 19th military buttons are used not for fastening, but as a talisman and a beautiful accent. The ermine tails, cartridges and military buttons are all intended to provide a powerful war medicine.

☩ The fierce fighting ability of the ermine and his ability to elude enemies in the snow, was admired be the Indian people. Ermine skins were and still are a man's form o decoration due to this connection with warfare skills. Also conch shell disk attached in the center represents the protective power of the Moon.
