The Fort Robinson Museum exhibit shows trade items like tomahawks beads shells and a Sioux leader Sitting Bull’s eldest daughter dress decorated with beads bells thimbles and hairpipes.

Trade Barriers Urged End to Russian Wheat Shipping Rule
The Nebraska Wheat Growers Association urged the U.S. government to remove a rule requiring 50 percent of wheat sold to Russia be shipped on American ships. They claim the order raises U.S. wheat prices by 23 cents a bushel, hurts the balance of payments, and blocks potential Russian markets. The group cites past Russia trade and notes Russia showed interest in purchasing up to 165 million bushels in 1964-65. The resolution cites total 1957-1961 Russia trade exceeding $203 million and calls for aligning trade with current patterns.
