The name parfleche was i nitially used by French fur traders and derives from the French language parer meaning “to parry” or “to defend”\, and fleche meaning arrow”. Parfleche was used to describe tough rawhide shields carried by Plains Indian warriors but was later used primarily for decorated raw hide containers. Plains Indian tribes often had an abundant source of hi des in the buffalo they hunted\, but\, as they were nomadic\, they had l ittle opportunity to tan the skins. Parfleche\, or rawhide\, was prepare d by cleaning and dehairing the skin and then by stretching it and allow ing it to dry in the sun. This process created a stiff but durable leath er that was used for many items\, including bags\, boxes\, envelopes\, a nd war shields. Designs historically consisted of geometric shapes and s ymbols in primary color. Today\, many contemporary Plains Indian artists evolved the idea of parfleche by making earrings\, bracelets\, wallets\ , etc. Students in this workshop will create their own piece of painted parfleche in the form of a pair of earrings or a keychain.\n\nWhat to ex pect:  Students can expect to learn more about parfleche\, work with pi eces of animal raw hide and acrylic leather paint to create their own pi ece of artwork to take with them.\n\nAbout the artist: Danielle is Húŋ kpapȟa Lakȟóta citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dako ta.  She is a fine artist\, muralist\, writer\, activist and boymom of two\, based in Denver\, Colorado.
