Indian Work At Missouri MuseumThe Missouri State Museum has placed on display a new exhibit containing Indian bead work, according to Gerald Massie, museum director.The museum is located in the State Capitol, Jefferson City.The collection of Musquakie beadwork is a gift of the late Miss Mary Alicia Owen, St. Joseph. “Many of the items have been on display in the museum for some time, however, this is the first time they have been coordinated into a complete exhibit,” Massie explained.Miss Owen was born in St. Joseph in 1858 and became a famous folklorist in both Britian and the United States and authored several books dealing with the life and customs of the Indians, Negroes and Gypsies in the U.S. during the late 1800’s.“The Missouri collection is one of special and unique importance because the only other display of this kind in the world is located in the Cambridge, # England, University Museum and was also a gift of Miss Owen,” said Harold Shelton, museum technician, who designed and built the exhibit.
