i was wondering if these black shawl wraps have been discussed before on this site. i looked for them in other posts, but i didn't see anything about them. i've asked many time about the meanings behind them, and who is able to wear them. i've gotten many different answers. i've heard that they are only worn by particular society members, and i've also heard that anyone can wear them. i've seen a lot of hobbyist wearing these wraps, and every once in a while i'll see a native wearing one, but that is rare. i think they look really cool, so i figured i'd ask. i'm not really planning on having one. i just thought i'd see if i could find out some information. thanks.
