Medicine Bag Jewelry by WolfWalker Collection

Medicine bags were worn by all indigenous peoples. They were made from hide & contained anything that the individual thought was empowering or protective. They could contain herbs, stones, beads, hair, holy soil,etc. Everything in the bag had significance to its owner. Some items may have been used for their medicinal value such as an herb, and some for their esoteric value in prayer & ceremony. It was considered disrespectful to ask what was in someone’s medicine bag as that knowledge was secret!
