Indian rawhide was the basis of one of the major and widespread pre-Cololumbian folk arts of the North American continent. Rawhide provided the containers for the preservation of dried buffalo meat, and other supplies. It supplied shelter as lodges and was fashioned into clothing. When the buffalo disappeared, a whole way of life was destroyed in very few years. The techniques involved in the manufacture and decoration of rawhide can be of great interest to all kinds of artists and technicians today.
