Awe this is my great grandmother and my grandma 🥰
The beautiful side of the internet
They are highly skilled and beautiful women! You were certainly blessed!
Thanks to your ancestors for allowing their labors to be filmed and their knowledge to be shared.
Tansi, from big stone cree nation.Thats awesome ,if it was my ancestors I would cherish this video and make sure to pass it down,
So wonderful to watch this. Lenaya, do you still make any of these creations?
I'm glad I grew up learning this. Not really many people know how make hide's anymore. Alot young people don't know how live off the land.
its so valuable and someone should write a book of all the ancient skills of peoples all over the world who lived off the land,one day people around the world may have to relearn these skills that took thousands of years to develop if civilization collapses
Hope you carry on that knowledge down to the next generation.
I don't remember any family making leather, but those houses, furnishing, and clothing reminds me of my childhood in Alabama, during the early 1950's. And the hard work I saw the adults doing, for every day living.
Harder....but happier times.
From a green skin to brain tanned leather is a lot of work, especially moose. I've had the pleasure of doing this with deer skins, which is real satisfying to harvest an animal and create clothing, pouch, quiver, lace, purse, belts, etc .. One of the main reason for smoking the hide was to keep it from going back to stiff rawhide after getting wet.
Thank ye very much! Wonderful
that rapid fire baby cry at the end was key ... thumbs up to living off the land ...2021....
I've got moose moccasins that I use as loafers around the house. Had them for at least 10 years and they dont look worn at all. I'll have them all my life I'm sure.
I was just months old when this was filmed. Awesome 👍
Great Video thank you , from an Albertan
Forgot to say my wife’s ancestors her great Grandmother never left Tennessee! They fought and went deep in the mountains where soldiers could not reach them. Today no peace treaty ever signed.😎
Awsome Video!!!!
Very nice vid thank you Greatings South africa
Damn that's a lot of work
Very interesting
It's alot of work.I did not like all the scraping fat off the hide so I would throw the hide on a red ant hill. Works good unless you forget to check.They eat the fat and then the hide next.
Really amazing
Thank God for faux leather. If I had to do all this, I would just freeze to death.
Whole family on there like a trampoline
Children are encouraged to stay around due to role modeling!!!
I love leather, wearing Mocs at this very moment. Always been interested in the process of tanning and would love to have shirt and trouser made of leather. The question I have, concerned the “elephant in the room”: if leather is so good, why are the wonderful women and children in video wearing cotton?? 🤷🏼♂️🤗
Leather is hot
How about sharing your amazing videos on another platform?
✌️👊
My wife taught 43 yrs has a ph’d in special ed and education administration. She can climb on a hide and scape dry and make hide worth thousands of dollars. My children can not do what she knows nor have they learned our languages ( Cherokee) it hurts us that they think they are above their ancestors, even though they love their heritage they trust digital instead of life’s basics.🤗🇨🇦🇺🇸
I would like to come learn! ? East coast🇺🇸
Does anyone know approximately, when this video was filmed?
I believe 1969. There is a second and possibly a 3rd film as well being loaded.
Thank you for your question: the description has been updated to mention that the film was made in 1969.
8:48 Fringe thought to have been used as decoration is a quick wicking way of pulling the water out of the garment. As for the Israelites it was commanded by Yahweh as a visual remembrance to keep his laws. The Law of Tassels Numbers 15:37 Later, the LORD said to Moses, 38“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout the generations to come they are to make for themselves tassels for the corners of their garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. 39These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the commandments of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own heart and your own eyes. Given the similarities of the Indian & Hebrew language phonetic sounds as per ish for man. - leads me pondering about the lost years of Jesus & the tales of a visit from a bearded man.
What a great idea!!! Can we make shoes from the hide too??? (Sarcasm) However, one can use this type of footwear to connect with nature in the wilderness!!! Try it! You can become one with nature!
This stops just before we get to see how the heel is made. Oh well, nice to watch some people enslaved to hard work instead of enslaved to convenience.
N2t: And you are enslaved to Oppression Theology. So sad.
@@KB4QAA Maybe so. And I'm starting to think we are all enslaved to Oppression Technology, as well. Weird times, man.
@@not2tees "Oppression technology"? You misunderstanding of the English language become more apparent with every post.
@@KB4QAA You very rewarding communicate with, Pelican.
what do you mean not2tees?
I thought it said from moonshine to moccasin lol
Never too poor to tour
Hay I know you 😆
@@JamesDeRosette that definitely checks out
Thats what I'm made of Brain fat and water

The moose should of hid in a better hide👍😂
