Tools & Equipment for Material; Textile Working (T&E)
Tools, equipment and supplies created to manage, oversee, capture, harvest or collect resources, and to transform or modify particular materials, both raw and processed. These objects are normally created in response to problems inherent in the materials themselves. Wood requires certain kinds of cutting devices, fish require certain lures and food requires certain serving utensils.
Tools, equipment and supplies created for preparing and processing plant and animal fibers from the unfinished state to the finished product (yarn, cloth or other textile product).

Historical Context:
A2.WIL: The period concentrating on Reverend Edward Francis Wilson's arrival , and the subsequent building of the Shingwauk Indian Residential School , 1871-1892. Reverend E.F. Wilson was principal of the school from 1873 - 1892, and thereafter was relocated to Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.
The A2.WIL.0 collection included bead work collected by Reverend E.F. Wilson and Archibald Wilson, Principal of Elkhorn, Residential School, Washakada. The bead work is most likely from the late 1800s. Mrs. Graham, a descendant of E.F. Wilson, graciously donated the bead work to the Shingwauk Project.
