☩ John Baldwin in his «Pipe bags – Tobacco bags of the American frontier» states that «the original use of US flag as a design in Indian beadwork probably started in 1876 in celebration of the American centennial... Every year after that beginning, on the 4th of July, Indians created and displayed their American flag decorated beadwork... Pipe bags seem to be the number one flag decorated item followed by beaded vests, knife sheaths and assorted other items and types of beaded bag. The American bag in Indian beadwork is very popular collectable».
Funny thing is that this year 487 coldfishes apathetically glanced at this namerican beauty «Lakota Knife Sheath (replica)», and none of them did deign to vote, share, bookmark, make a pin or submit any comment/feedback. Way to go!'
