A little bit of Quebec and native American culture ........ Au delà de la ceinture fléchée / Beyond Arrowhead Sash

Now I continue to like the way I get to discover new things about history and places, often without even trying.

So I was fascinated when a new friend added me to her facebook group Au delà de la ceinture fléchée / Beyond Arrowhead Sash.

It is a study group about Finger Weaving from the North East of the Americas.

The group description which is in both French and English says that “From the Mi'kmaq Culture (2,500 BP) to the French Canadian Culture through the Mississippian Culture (800-900) we are trying to establish links through finger weaving and Quebec culture (1840-1885). 

We rely on facts, period in time and locations. We believe that these cultural exchanges are important.”

Michelle who added me to the group adds that “We teach Fingerweaving from North East of America and the origins of fingerweaving Indian connection.”

So there you have it.
