[Woodcarver] ??? on American Indians

[Dave Egan]

I went to high school on the Crow Indian reservation in South Central MT.  my classmates either did a three strand braid or a loose pony tail.  wouldn't a two strand twist unwind?  anyhow, not sure if it was authentic old school as so many traditions were discarded over the years but many were retained and that is what I saw in my world.  good luck.
