English

Subject field(s)
  • Indigenous Arts and Culture
  • Types of Skins and Hides (Leather Ind.)
DEF

A strip of leather or hide used in braiding hair.

OBS

The term "thong" is a generic term that denotes any strip of leather or hide, whether used for the hair or used in the making of snowshoes. If the material used for braiding hair is not of leather, one would either use the term "strip" (of material, of cloth, etc.) or "lace", depending on the precise context.

CONT

Young [Abenaki] men wore their hair long and hanging, whereas married men braided it into a bun on the top of their heads and held it in place with a thong.

Domaine(s)
  • Arts et culture autochtones
  • Sortes de peaux (Ind. du cuir)
OBS

«Lanière» est un terme générique désignant une longue et étroite bande de cuir ou d’une autre matière souple. S’ il s’agit de matériau utilisé pour la fabrication de raquettes à neige, on préfère le terme «babiche» au Canada. S’ il ne s’agit pas de cuir, on dirait plutôt «strip»(of material, of cloth, etc.) en anglais.

CONT

Les jeunes hommes portaient les cheveux longs tandis que les hommes mariés se tressaient un chignon sur le dessus de la tête qu’ils fixaient à l’aide d’une lanière.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Leather Industry
  • Preparation of Leather and Leather Articles
CONT

The term "wet blue" or "blue side" refers to the processing of hides or skins through to the chrome tanned state only. The chrome tanned leather can then be shipped to different tanneries for coloring, fatliquoring and finishing. A wet bleu operation can be located near the source of hides to give the advantage of the elimination of cure. Wet bleu stock can be sold on a more accurate specification of the grain characteristics. With the increased problem of pollution control of tanneries located in urban areas, the purchasing of wet blue becomes not only desirable, but in some cases is a necessity.
