Bag

Northern Plains style, this bag was popular as a trade item with Canadian fur trading companies, made by the Plains Cree, Plains Ojibwa and marginal Plains people. On the Northern Plains the smoking of tobacco accompanied every ceremony, and was certainly a feature of the Treaty 7 negotiations.
