The Canadian Museum of Civilization also has an online Legends exhibition, which can be viewed here.

Legends of Our Times: Native Ranching and Rodeo Life on the Plains traces the history of Native people as buffalo hunters, horsemen, ranchers, and cowboys, and as entertainers and participants in the sport of rodeo. With 700 objects, including saddles, blankets, clothing, and horse equipment, the exhibition presents the connections between traditional Plains and Plateau cultures and animals like the horse, buffalo, and dog — and how these connections influenced the Native cowboy’s perspective on ranching and rodeo life.

This exhibition will be on view at the National Museum of the American Indian in New York through March 7, 2004.
