Fort Edmonton was a major trading post for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) and a central hub in the fur trade network. The Métis, who are a distinct cultural group of mixed Indigenous and European ancestry, were heavily involved at the fort. They were crucial to the fur trade economy at Fort Edmonton. Many worked as "freemen" (independent traders), trappers, or voyageurs (canoe paddlers), transporting furs from remote trapping areas to the fort and carrying trade goods back.
They were skilled intermediaries between the Indigenous populations and European traders, facilitating trade and communication. The Métis provided essential provisions to the fort, including pemmican, a high-energy food made from dried meat and fat, which was a staple for traders and voyageurs. Many Métis were employed by the Hudson's Bay Company as laborers, craftsmen, and interpreters. They were involved in building and maintaining the fort and its infrastructure.
The colour of the Métis Sash had symbolism. Red is for the blood that was shed by the Métis through the years while fighting for their rights. Blue is for the depth of their spirits. Green is for the fertility of a great nation. White is for their connection to the earth and their creator. Yellow is for prosperity. Black is for the dark period of the suppression and dispossession of the Métis land. The infinity symbol represents the everlasting Métis culture.
It measures just 1/4 inch across, and is made of metallic yarns. Since it is twisted and has many curves - I thought it might do for this weeks Macro Mondays theme. HMM Everyone!

For the Macro Monday theme "Clothing" (January 27th 2014)
Brightly coloured, silky, woven with gold thread; I used to wear it as a sash, though I'm not sure exactly what it is! Full shot in the first comment field. I can't find a picture like it online, so if you know what it is, I'd be delighted to find out ;o)

Trying to decide between thin sashing with the charcoal like this, or thick sashing as in the previous pic.
