Modern native men's dance costumes often feature arm bands with bells, ribbons, strips of fur, feathers and beadwork. These are simply part of the "tradition" in dance costumes that has grown up since the early 20th century.
Historically, arm bands were far less frequently worn and were generally of metal, obtained from white traders simply to look impressive. I have many 19th century photographs of Crow warriors wearing these arm bands which are probably of brass or copper.
Naturally, before white traders arrived in the Crow country, such arm bands were completely unknown.
Looking for a meaning in purely native costume items is one thing, but when it comes to trade items the only meaning is that they appealed to the natives - as did silver concho disks, hoop earrings, mirrors and military sabres.
