Claim: The beaded shoulder bandolier bag, which is commonly mistaken as medicine bags, are worn by some North American tribes and are cultural icons with the Ojibwe.
Evidence: A bandolier bag or gashkibidaagan is a beaded shoulder bag with a wide strap often ornately decorated with beadwork made by the Ojibwe women. Bandolier bags are often incorrectly called medicine bags. Also known as Bandolier bags, similar bags are made and worn by several North American tribes. They are cultural icons among the Ojibwe, (also known as Anishinaabe, Chippewa, Ojibwa and other variants).
