The dresses themselves tell where they are from LOL. The raised beading technique was first done by the tuscaroras and the mohawk... the more distinct style between them all is the tuscarora flower and the clear super heavy beading on red velvet. In the beaded birds, it is distinquished that the mohawk birds wings lay flat on it's back while the tuscaroras are on the side and point upwards. Nowadays though, all 6 nations do the raised style. I like that, one more thing that bonds us all together!
