What did algonquin Indians use to make clothes?

Answer 1

Most traditional Algonquin Indian clothing was made of moose and deer hide. The most common clothing was the tunic, loincloth, leggings and moccasins. In winter, bearskins were widely used, especially for capes. For smaller garments such as hats and mittens, muskrat and beaver furs were chosen because of their impermeability.

Answer 2

The Aboriginal people are native to Australia, so obviously Aboriginal art originated in Australia.

Aboriginal art is one of the main souvenirs that tourists acquire whilst visiting Australia, whether it be real art, or just replicas.

Answer 3

Aborigines were resourceful people who extracted a variety of colours from their natural environment.

They obtained red, orange, dark purple, brown and orange from grinding ochre to a powder. Ochre was found naturally in rock stained by iron, which would give it the reddish hues.

Yellow was obtained by mixing clay, or by collecting pebbles that conatined a limonite-stained form of kaolin. White also came from the kaolin, or even white clays. Calcite, a chalky mineral, as well as ash are used to make white pigments. Calcite occurs naturally in calcrete deposits.

Black was obtained from charcoal, and could be mixed with kaolin to make grey.

Dark green was made from plant colourings.

Tree bark, crushed shells and blood also gave variety of colour. The availability of some colours are peculiar to the area that the artist finds himself in.

These paint bases were mixed with fluids such as saliva, blood, tree sap or yolk of various animals' eggs to help them adhere.

Twigs, fibres, feathers and fingers were used for painting to get different strokes like a paint brush.
