| Chuck
"Winter Heart" Reddick |
|
|
|
It was while living on a Lakota Sioux
reservation that Chuck "Winter Heart" Reddick learned the Plains Indian
culture and the techniques for making the traditional Native American
war shirts for which he is known today. |
|
|
|
Reddick makes shirts
which are cherished by collectors of Native American
art as unique and stunning wall art – his clients
include the famous and not-so-famous. Reddick has
also created dance gear for many Native American
dancers; in 1992 he made the outfit that Kevin
Hagan, of the Yurok Nation, danced in in Washington,
D.C. In 1994 Reddick won the "Best of Show" for a
bow quiver and shield at the Best Western and Indian
Show held in Pasadena, California. |

Reddick's pieces are
meticulously fashioned using the traditional Native American techniques he
learned on the Sioux reservation. The leather is antiqued and smoked to
achieve the beautiful dark tanned, worn appearance. The dyes he uses on
his war shirts' hides are from plants and minerals such as the red
from the prickly pear juice, the yellow from Mormon Tea and the purple
from sweetgrass. The beads he uses are antique trade beads attached with
traditional Native American techniques such as the "lazy stitch"; roughly
100 beads fill a square inch. |

A self-described "mountain
man," Reddick has been involved with pre-1840's historical re-enactments
for the past fifteen years and is a member of one of the oldest black
powder clubs in the United States.
