Indians traditionally secured porcupine quills by carefully extracting them from the animal after it had been hunted or found dead. The quills were then cleaned and often dyed to enhance their decorative appeal. They were commonly used in various crafts, including beadwork and embroidery, to create intricate patterns on clothing, accessories, and ceremonial items. The process required skill and knowledge of the animal's behavior for safe collection.
