Private Collection, Alberta

Note:

A beaded Glengarry bonnet with folate and geometric designs. This hat style was developed by the Scottish Highlanders around 1800. 19th century Hudson’s Bay Company trade invoices indicate that large quantities of these hats were imported for trade. The Haudenoseone would embellish them with dyed tufted moosehair, and later beadwork. Made for sale or trade, the present example was manufactured by a Haudenoseone maker, likely in the area around Niagara Falls.
