This jingle dress was created by Ike Peters. It is a blue cotton shift with a round collar and a decorative V-neck neckline. Red grosgrain ribbon trims the neck and the underside of the sleeves. Following the line of ribbon is a continuous line of small blue plastic beads with tin tinklers attached. The hem of the dress is decorated with three bands of ribbons, beads, and tinklers. The top band runs straight around the circumference of the dress. The middle band is zig-zag, and the bottom band is straight.

At Pow Wows, jingle dancers represent healing. It is believed that each time a tinkler makes noise, it is saying a prayer for the people.

Isaac "Ike" Peters, Jr. (1923-1992) was a member of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians and was a well-known and well respected elder of the Michigan Native American community. Known for his bead and leather work, he along with his wife Mae Ring passed those traits on to their daughter, Renee Dillard. Several of his pieces are on display in the GRPM.

Around 1852 the great-grandfather of Peters, Wasaquom, was presented the Millard Fillmore Presidential Peace Medal, which was awarded to important Native American leaders.
