Finished Items Woven Sashes & Garters 8508
General Description:
Woven sashes, head wraps, and garters were introduced into the Native
cultures of the Great Lakes by the French-Canadian voyagers that plied
the trade routes in the region. They quickly became popular trade items to
both fur trappers
and Native people
there. Trading
companies commissioned
both
European immigrants
and, later,
Indian women to
fingerweave these
sashes. Within the
Native cultures,
fingerweaving
developed into
intricate patterns
and styles, and
spread throughout
the east. In the mid-
1800’s trading
companies turned
to machine weaving
these sashes
and commonly
used the design
made by weavers at
L’Assomption ,
Quebec.
These authentic reproductions of the machine woven Assumption Sash
and Garters are offered in both a red and a blue design. |
