Smoked Elk

This is a traditionally brain-tanned and smoked elk hide. This skin was tanned and smoked using a traditional brain-tanning process using real veal brains by a European man in Canada who was accepted into the Lakota Tribe. Very few people are making true brain-tanned hides any more. It is NOT being offered as Native made. This is a whole hide with some small holes, blemishes, and scratches on the leather. It has a smoky smell and is supple. Many cheaper "brain tan" hides are on the market...
