Haida Cedar Medicine Man (sGaaga/Shaman) regalia often incorporated cedar bark, including elements that could be described as sashes, belts, aprons, neck rings, or related garments.
The Haida people of Haida Gwaii (off British Columbia, Canada) are renowned for their sophisticated art, woodworking, and weaving, with western red cedar (Thuja plicata) serving as a "Tree of Life" central to daily life, ceremony, and spirituality. Its inner bark was processed into soft, flexible material for clothing, mats, hats, ropes, and ceremonial items.
