caribou tufting (process) (hide and skin processing, <processes and techniques by material>, ... Processes and Techniques (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Process of creating three-dimensional imagery by sewing bundles of caribou hair onto a backing surface, usually animal hide or cloth. Backing stitches are pulled tight to shape the hair and then knotted. Hairs are sometimes dyed to create particular images or patterns. Originally manufactured by pre-contact Athabaskan and other First Nations communities, caribou tufting is now practiced by M%00etis and First Nations tribes across northern Canada.
