Those goggles are to prevent snow blindness so the glare on the snow would not blind them. They would rub charcoal on the inside of them or sometimes over their eyes before putting them on. My comanche people would make parfleches. To make our rawhide we would take the hide and rub wood ash into the hair then fold it up with the ash and hair inside and the fleshy part outside. We then would burry it for two weeks then dig it up and take it to a stream. As soon as the water would hit it the hair would all slide off. After that we would stretch it till it was dry. To keep parfleches dry in wet climates covering it with beeswax will keep it from becoming wet and soggy. During rainy or wet days most of us would stay in doors so our things didn't get wet much unless we really had to go out in the dampness. Also most artificial sinew is made from plant fibers that are waxed. Real sinew works better and easer to use after chewing on it and breaking down the fibers first. Those moccasins are the same style that my Tsalagi - cherokee people would wear. With the center seam up over the toes. Ours would come up a little bit higher over the ankles with pointed flaps on both sides. If you boil down the dear toes you can also mix it with hide scrapings and crushed egg shells to make Hide Glue.

Thank you for this video! We are a hunting family and use our harvest for meals. So it's very cool to see that other things could be made from the other parts of the deer. I loved the hollowed out antler for saving my grandsons baby teeth! I need to make some buttons and will start to harvest the deer toes. Saving some deer tails to use in my decor as tassels. Great ideas!

Can someone point me in the direction of where I can find how to properly process the parts mentioned in the video? Like yes I know sinew is useful, but I have no idea how to properly harvest it from the deer, and what needs to be done to it afterwards to make it usable and where it won’t rot when I store it. I’d also like to learn how to process hides.

The big advantage of real sinew is that as it dries, it shrinks, and you don't even need to tie a knot when wrapping something. It sticks to itself and pulls together as it dries, making a tight wrapping that is almost impervious to everything- except moisture.

Deer exist all over North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. It is highly likely, if not inevitable, that her ancestors made materials similar to this. If her ancestors decended from Africa exculsively, then perhaps not, but even in Africa similar items could be made from Impala, Kudu, Gemsbok, Springbok, or Eland.

Your statement speaks foolishness or ignorance. Compare two separate, unrelated human-beings on two separate continents and they share on average 99.9% of DNA, the only difference is the 0.1% which allows for variances which show clues to their ancestry. All life stems from the Mother of mankind, Eve and yes it has been scientifically proven. All men and woman today, from every continent across the world share the DNA that was passed down from Eve. To reiterate, your statement that her ancestors did not utilize the many uses of a deer is indeed a foolish or ignorant statement. This is coming from a Tsalagi descendant. I tell you this to give you light, not to insult you or provoke you into anger or hate.🙏🦅

Did you know that the only indians left are the ones that tucked tail and ran from their enemy like cowards? Thousands of braves fought the US Army but they never mention the ones that refused to fight. They never talk about the chiefs that betrayed their own people by making deals with their enemy. They never talk about the chiefs that signed treaties that destroyed their own tribes. Now their descendants blame everyone else for their ancestors being ignorant and unwilling to defend their tribes. Even now in modern times, their chiefs submit to the government and cede ownership of their lands so they can build HUD homes. Its sad that cowards and traitors are allowed to pretend they are heroes.
