The Métis sash, known as "ceinture fléchée," is a traditional woven belt worn by the Métis people of Canada. It is typically made from wool and features vibrant colors and intricate patterns. The sash serves multiple purposes, including as a fashion accessory, a tool for carrying items, and a symbol of Métis identity. Historically, the Métis sash was used by fur traders and voyageurs, reflecting their cultural heritage. The design often includes a central diamond shape, which is significant in Métis culture. Today, the sash remains an important emblem of the Métis community and is worn during cultural events and celebrations.
