~Documented Reproductions~
Updated 11/06/07
Please note: The patterns on this page are my interpretations of pieces, sketches, descriptions, photos & originals I have been lucky enough to find documentation of. Although there is not a wide variety of originals out there representing different tribes or regions, I have found that any sort of pattern combinations consisting of diagonals, chevrons, zigzags, checks, speckles, stripes, diamonds & arrows were used widely throughout many different regions. Therefore most of my patterns you will find on this website are made up of different combinations of those designs listed above. In most cases I have had to do a bit of guessing as far as color combinations with the reproduction straps; however the colors in the "Wool Repro (Pg. #32)"  & the Original Repro (Pg. #70)"  I have matched as closely as I could to the originals.
