Authentic Native American Ogalala Lakota Sage Bags

Paula says -

"If you'd like to use one of the triangular shaped bags as a medicine bag or to hold a totem or special item, you can untie the strings around the neck of the bag, slide the beads on the neck strap up, open the bag, remove the sage and put your item in the bag. The round bags are completely stitched around the outer edge, so with them, this would not be an option."
