Of all the symbols associated with the Métis culture, the sash is perhaps the most widely recognized and best known.
Representing value, versatility, and pride, it is a perfect representation of our company, RedSash.
Wrapped about the midsection, it was used by Voyageurs to carry their belongings during their transportation duties. As the Métis took tremendous pride in their clothing, the sash, being an attractive piece was highly valued for its aesthetic presence. Often, a decorative beaded pipe bag was added to the Voyageur's outfit, being suspended from his sash. As well, it was valued for its practicality and versatility. It was warm in the colder seasons and could be used as a rope when none was available. The art of weaving the sash was brought to the western regions via Voyageurs who had encountered the bright 'scarves' through contact with French Canadians.
