Many American Indian Tribes used rawhide in many different ways. Rawhide is prepared by taking the skin of an animal, removing the flesh and hair, and stretching it until it dried. It was so stiff that many items they used could be made from rawhide, such as a shield. Also, elaborate decorations would be painted on one side. These designs were always geometric in shape and were a symbol of a particular tribe.
