Every summer since probably 5th grade my friend yahtrickyahh (Danielle) go to northern Wisconsin and while we are there we visit a Native American reservation. One year I bought a really awesome necklace for around 5 dollars.. I don't know if you can see that..but it looks similar. The lady that was selling these hand made all sorts of necklaces. While I was talking to her she said that her tribe was the Forest County Potawatomi. This lady said that she makes a lot of stuff out of turquoise because in ancient times their jewelry was mainly made out of that and feathers.

I didn't know Wisconsin tribes used turquoise for their jewelry. I have some made by southwestern tribes.
ReplyDeleteThe jewelry is really interesting to think about. Whenever I think about Native American pictures the different jewelry and things they wear always stand out.
