Cultural Narrative: 

This one has glass beads on the bottom fringe, a running stitch along the bottom, and small beads. Leanne Campbell

It feels like elk around the top. Leta Campbell

This one done in two pieces and done with a base. This one is done in the earlier years where they dyed it themselves. There is a different string on top and bottom and you can see the weaves are different. The handle pulls through to close the bag. That is really handy! I want to try that. Philomena Nome
