Sinew is made from tendons, which are tough, fibrous connective tissues that attach muscles to bones. Composed primarily of collagen, sinew provides strength and flexibility, allowing for the transfer of force from muscles to bones during movement. In culinary contexts, sinew can refer to the fibrous parts of meat that may require slow cooking to become tender.

How did the Eastern Woodland Indians stich there clothing?

Let's imagine a Menominee woman sitting inside her we:kewam, about to stitch a pair of moccasins (mahkae:sen). She has cut out the pieces of deerskin (apae:hsosokom), entirely without a pattern, sorted out the dyed porcupine quills (ka:wey) she will use to decorate the moccasins and pounded some animal sinew (aqtaeh) to produce many fine strands for use as sewing thread.The sinew strands are dry and very stiff; she puts some of them in her mouth, leaving the ends hanging out so these ends remain dry.She takes an awl (ohka:naeh) and makes a series of holes in the pieces of deerskin to be joined, then she takes a sinew thread from her mouth where it has been moistened to make it supple and flexible - except for the tip, which remains dry and very stiff. This acts as its own needle, so no needle is required. As she gets near the end of each sinew strand another is taken from her mouth, overlapped with the first and twisted together, making a continuous long thread. As it dries out the sinew becomes very hard and strong in the stitch holes.She continues adding the pieces of the moccasins and sewing them together: the soles and sides are one piece, then the vamps and the cuffs are added. She knows by experience exactly how large or small each piece has to be and the finished moccasins are a perfect fit; the vamps are then decorated with porcupine quill embroidery stitched on in exactly the same way, using just the awl and sinew threads.Dresses, shirts, leggings and other clothing were made in the same way.See the finished Menominee moccasins via the link below:
