>Hello everyone,

>I am looking for information on hawks' bells, which were commonly used for
>falconry by Europeans but proved to be valuable trade materials with
>indigenous groups around the world. My particular interest is how they
>were used within Native American contexts; I've heard that they were
>primarily ornamental, and were often sewn on clothing for use in dances and
>ceremonies. Any information would be appreciated.
