We have a few sources for traditional, hand-made, brain-tanned, smoked moose hide from the Cree in Canada. The moose hides on this page are handmade using traditional methods but were not treated with brains. Traditionally, the hides would be tanned using brains before stretching and smoking. Nowadays, it is rare for brains to be used and each person has their own recipe for softening the hides. Traditional, hand-made leather is very difficult to obtain these days and has become quite expensive. Each piece is cataloged and priced separately. The price varies by the quality of the hide, thickness, color, and suppleness.
Sometimes we also get brain-tanned, handmade, white moosehide (i.e., hides that have been prepared in the traditional way, but not smoked). Please see our gallery below for a list of all available hides for sale. We usually take more pictures than we post on the website. Please ask if you want to see more pictures or closeups of the hides. To see a gallery of pictures showing a hide being smoked in Quebec, click HERE.
Genus and species: Alces alces. Wild. Moose are not an endangered species. The Cree hunt moose for food. The animal was not killed just for its skin. Native Made Product of Canada |
