Tuscarora Beaded HatI chose this hat because it was pretty. I liked the design on it and thought that whoever made it took a lot of time to make the hat. This beaded hat was very popular for many Tuscarora women in the 1900s. Each design they would make had a meaning to it. It had strong elements and form. When a young woman wanted to marry a man, she had to bead a whole set of clothing for him. Now many women bead just so they can sell to white people. |
