The Tsimshian Floral Design

The Tsimshian Indians, a Woodland Indian group living just east of the Tlingit, formed both a trading and cultural bridge between the Northern Coastal Indians and the Woodland Indians of the interior. The Woodland Indians extended from far eastern Canada through the northern woods to the Yukon. They had taken up floral decoration in early contacts with French settlers, using this motif in stitchery, beadwork, applique and other forms. This curvilinear floral work was highly developed among the Tsimshian, and contrasts strongly with their geometric art still carried on from earlier times. We offer a Tsimshian floral design bracelet and matching earrings by a Tlingit neighbor, continuing the long standing cultural interchange between these northern groups.
