“We now feel very confident that the jacket is either Metis or Cree (…) most likely from Alberta or Manitoba."
The hunting jacket's pocket's olive green chain stitch was taught in the Red River region schools pre-1850s.
“The jacket is handcrafted with astonishing detail, only adding to the historical significance.

It journeyed from Canada to US to Pakistan or Thailand back to the US then the UK where it was discovered. Next stop: home.

The picture dates to 1858.
