A Plains Awl Case is a traditional accessory used by Native American women of the Great Plains tribes (including Northern Plains groups like the Sioux/Lakota, Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Cree, and Southern Plains examples). It served as a protective sheath or holder for an awl—a sharp, pointed tool (often made of bone, antler, or later metal) essential for punching holes in leather or hides during sewing, quillwork, or garment construction.
