Family Class: Rawhide Drums to Leather Pouches: Traditional Animal Hide Crafts

Calendar/Event Details

Have you ever wondered how to make beautiful leather traditionally, and how to honor animal hides with a plethora of uses? Today, we’ll take hides that were harvested during the fall hunt, and honor them by making sure none go to waste. We’ll scrape them clean,  demonstrate how to shape some into parfleche, a drum, and other rawhide tools.  Next, using an ancient egg recipe, we’ll show you how we convert hides into tanned buckskin leather!
