Ojibwe Bandolier BagI chose to write about this bandolier bag because it must have taken a very long time, a lot of love and pride to make this short of thing. The Ojibwe beaded bandolier bag was "an apex of the woodland beading" (Earl Nyholm). Many bags had flowers and fruit in the designs. The bandolier bag was given away as a gift when someone was honored. It is also for respectable people to wear. The bandolier bag took about one year to make. It was a sign of love for someone to sit down and take the time to make this bag. As you can see, the bag is really fancy (see hot spots). |
