This bag 1 of 2 was used most likely in ceremony. I has a root and an effigy inside that deals with healing as far as I know. It is Ojib in origin from the lakes area and was a trade within my family back in 1941. It also was on display for many years at the bear indian trading post in Esopus NY. until it was given back to me in 1991. It has... been in a glass case sealed since then.
This was traded for peace and good will and the trade item was a small wampum glass bead belt check bead given in honor of the powwow or venu in which i still own both items due to losses in the family's.
