Minnesota Historical Society: Ojibwe Collections Designers – Ogema, MN

Today’s Ojibwe Collections item is a beaded bandolier bag titled “Fall Leaves,” created by Ivy (Norcross) Ailport and her husband Harry Ailport, 2003. The bag’s design was inspired by the various colors of fall leaves on the maple tree in the Ailport yard in Ogema, Minnesota. Ivy was a member of the Bear Clan of Ojibwe and an enrolled member of Gaa-waabaabiganikaag Anishinaabeg or the White Earth Nation. This bag was donated by the artist.
