Many tribes in the Great Lakes/Woodlands region created woven mats. Mainly used as delicately decorated floor coverings, mats were created by women; a tradition that was transferred from generation to generation. The designs on this mat are reminiscent of leaves that are found in Anishinabe woven beadwork.
