History of Trade Beads
From the 15th to the 20th century, traders carried European glass beads across the world. The beads were highly desired by Native Americans, as glass was then an unknown substance in North American. European glass beads, mostly from Venice, became popular and sought after by Native Americans. Europeans realized early on that beads were important to Native Americans and corporations such as the Hudson Bay Trading Company developed lucrative bead-trading markets with them. The Hudson Bay Trading Company was an organized group of explorers who operated during the 19th century. They ventured into the North American continent for trade expeditions.

A Native American neck bag is a small, often beautifully crafted pouch that hangs around the neck. These bags, also known as neck pouches or amulet bags, are traditionally used for carrying small, personal items and are often adorned with intricate designs that hold cultural significance. Crafters make these types of bags from soft, durable materials like leather. The material choice often depends on the specific traditions and available resources.
Braintanning deerskin is a time consuming, hands-on process. Native Americans processed all of their Leather this way before the advent of commercial tanning. The saying is that every animal has a brain large enough to tan its own hide. Most tanners smoke their braintanned hides. The tanner smoked the deerskin our crafter used to make this Neck Bag Abalone Button. This prevents the hide from becoming stiff if it gets wet and acts as a preservative. You may see unsmoked braintanned hides which have a lovely white color, but they are liable to harden if they become wet.
