Here's a good one for you who are more familiar with the fur trade history than I am...
I've noticed that most of the arrow sashes / ceintures flechee have a red base and are associated with either voyageurs / fur traders or Metis peoples these days. I've seen a few red and black versions that seem like they would be well tied to the Northwest Co., just like their red and black blankets. Has anyone ever seen one with the HBC colors being prominent? Obviously, they would not have been done in white with the green, red, yellow and blue of HBC....but does anyone know if an HBC related pattern ever took hold anywhere?
Thanks
