Geraldine Mae Sherman (1922–2012) was an American fashion designer of Native American descent, known for creating pieces inspired by the Lakota traditions of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. With the assistance of the Moroccan-born anthropologist Helene Hagan, she established the pioneering Contemporary Lakota Fashions, which produced, exhibited and marketed a variety of garments from the mid-1980s.[1][2]
