A medicine bag is a traditional North American Indian container for various items of supernatural power. While anyone may have one, usually it would be the medicine man, or shaman of a tribe who would carry one.

Medicine items attributed with various supernatural abilities for the bag would often be procured in a tribal custom known as a vision quest.

Typical powers ascribed to medicine bags and their items include increasing hunting abilities, aiding fighting skills, healing allies, hindering enemies and altering the weather.

This hand-crafted leather bag was made by the Sung Maka Ska, White Earth Horse artisans group of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe.
