FIVE ASSORTED NATIVE AMERICAN WOVEN SASHES OR GARTERS. Four assorted vintage Native American or American Indian woven sashes or garters - some have geometric designs which are characteristic to the tradition of finger-woven patterns often associated with the Great Lakes and Northeast regions (e.g., Ojibwe/Chippewa, Ottawa, Potawatomi, and sometimes Iroquois/Haudenosaunee). The geometric patterns (zigzags, diamonds), and the use of vibrant colors (red, green, black, and white/cream) place them within the tradition of the Great Lakes and Northeast Woodlands Indigenous cultures, such as the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Nations (including the Mohawk), Ojibwe, and Metis. These sashes are a central component of traditional regalia for both men and women, worn around the waist or across the shoulder. They hold cultural and historical significance, often symbolizing clan or nation identity, trade history, and status. - Red sashes: lenght: (approx): 100 inches. Estimate $250-350
