found: Nebraska State Historical Society Beadwork masterpieces, Aug. 16, 2009(Bandolier bags are elaborately decorated shoulder bags most commonly made by Native peoples of the Prairies and Upper Great Lakes, from southern Canada to Kansas. The bags are thought to have originated around the 1840s or 1850s. Bandolier bags have a wide, beaded shoulder strap and a rectangular lower section that sometimes has a pocket. They were made primarily for show, although they were sometimes used to carry belongings; usually worn one at a time over the shoulder and across the body, the bags were sometimes draped over the neck, hung over a saddle or horse's neck, or worn several at a time)
