Vintage Chief Blackfoot Mohawk Trail Solid Copper Cuff Bracelet

Storytelling is an important tradition in Native American culture and this this highly detailed cuff bracelet tells a 'tale' of the early Native American Blackfoot Indian tribe with scenes of Native American life from the Mohawk Trail. The Blackfoot Indians were nomadic and migrated from the Great Lakes region to the Northwestern United States. They lived in the Northern Great Plains, specifically in Montana and Idaho as well as Alberta Canada. The cuff bracelet depicts Chief Blackfoot in ceremonial headdress with "Mohawk Trail" engraved at the center of his headdress. To the right of Chief Blackfoot is a scene from "The Elk On The Trail" portraying a Blackfoot Indian with a bow and arrow as the big game hunters they were. To the left of Chief Blackfoot is a scene from "The Hairpin Turn" depicting the Blackfoot Indians at the popular hairpin lookout that overlooks the city of North Adams and the Taconic Mountains. This cuff bracelet was offered as souvenirs in tourist locations along the Mohawk Trail, primarily in Massachusetts. The stories in this cuff bracelet provide perspective on life in America for the Blackfoot Indians. Since this is a vintage pre-owned cuff bracelet, it is unknown whether it was crafted by a Native American Artisan or by a Coppersmith for tourism. This cuff bracelet would be a perfect gift for a person that appreciates Native American history, Native American collectibles, and Southwestern wear (Tribal, Native American, Boho, Southwestern, Country, and Western Wear)
