Eric Newell

James and Eric Newell were recently a part of a historic return of ceremonial items to the Sinte Gleska in South Dakota. In 1879, their family had been gifted beaded moccasins, a buckskin shirt and pants, and the eagle-feather headdress of Chief Spotted Tail (Sinte Gleska). As a sign of respect, James and Eric returned the gifts to the fifth-generation descendant of Chief Spotted Tail, who in turn has gifted the items to the South Dakota History Museum. The governor of the state of South Dakota has proclaimed that week as "Sinte Gleska & Newell Friendship Week," in recognition of the long-lasting friendship between the two families.
