Boy's Walking Out Set (Bag, Bullet Bag, Drag String & Socks)

A complete set for a boy's Walking Out Ceremony: a grey camouflage bag and a zippered camouflage bullet bag, both trimmed in blue with braided blue and light blue yarn straps, a red drag string with blue and light blue leg straps, and two pairs of hand-knit socks.

The Walking Out Ceremony is an important rite of passage for Cree children. At sunrise, usually in spring, a toddler takes their first steps outside onto the land, dressed in traditional clothing and carrying small versions of the tools they will one day use. A boy shows the role of the hunter, then comes back inside to bring gifts to an elder in his bag, and the family celebrates with a feast.
