Vintage Canadian Indian Beaded Jacket Wool Coat First Nations old rose color It closes with two buttonsThis is a wonderful blue and white 100% wool Indian beaded jacket coat. It was made and beaded by a member of a Canadian First Nations tribe, most likely Northern Indian. I believe that this Native Indian beaded jacket dates to the 1960s. It came with a couple of other items of Labrador origin, so I think that it was made by Native Indians from North East Canada. The beadwork is on the white wool at the upper bodice and back as well as on the pockets.
