How Do You Make Indian Vest Out Of Paper Bags?
Creating an authentic-looking American Indian vest is a fun supplemental activity when studying Native American cultures. Not all American Indians wore vests, but both men and women in many plains and woodland tribes did. The paper bag vest you will learn to make in this article is modeled after the Sioux Indians, who lived in the western plains of the United States. Their vests were made of deerskin, and were often fringed at the bottom. It is important to explain to children that this clothing is traditional, but most modern-day American Indians dress in current styles unless they are participating in special ceremonies or celebrations. Making Sioux Indian vests from paper bags is a fun way to commemorate American Indian heritage.
