The Stomp Dance skirt was painstakingly pieced together by Peggy Jim Osceola, a prominent artist in southern Florida’s Miccosukee Seminole community. Patchwork skirts are traditionally worn by Seminole and Miccosukee women for the Green Corn ceremony, a time of purification and a celebration of a new year of life.
