description

Summary

Once available at Upper Missouri Outfit trading posts like Fort Union, metal needles became popular trade items. American Indian and Metis, or mixed blood, women in the 1800s used metal needles much like they do today: to sew together fabrics and leathers as well as to make bead embroidery.
