I agree with your assessment Jim, except that the back is not wood but perhaps rawhide. The pattern and colors are consistent with Plains designs, like what you see on some moccasins of the same period. Use of lazy stitch was/is popular among Plains Native Americans (among others) as well.

Great piece and for sharing it - palamiya (Lakota for thank you).
