Gorgets: Seminole warrior and slate gorets
Detailed Description
Before the introduction of metals including steel and silver, Native Americans used slate, shells, and other natural materials for their amulets and gorets. Here Seminole warrior, Os-ce-o-lá, The Black Drink, is wearing a silver gorget. In 2019, USGS scientists helped to provide a detailed photographic record of slate gorgets and fragments found along the banks of the Patuxent River in Maryland.

Gorget Trade to Native Americans
The British Empire awarded gorgets to chiefs of American Indian tribes both as tokens of goodwill and a badge of their high status.[4] Those being awarded a gorget were known as gorget captains [5]. These gorgets can be found in numerous paintings of Native American of the era. Over time, metal gorgets became prized trade items and part of Native American Regalia in many parts of the Eastern United States.

Epilogue
An epilogue is a concluding section (essentially an extra chapter) that comes at the very end of a piece of literature, usually a novel or play. It comes after the final chapter of a story and is typically titled simply "Epilogue" (though sometimes it's referred to as a chapter).
Epilogues still take place within the story; however, they're presented in such a way that they're mostly meant to wrap up any loose ends and answer any remaining questions the reader might have after finishing the final chapter.
To summarize, here are the main purposes of an epilogue:
Epilogues are designed more to give the reader a sense of closure when it comes to the characters and/or events that took place in the main narrative.
