My experience , everyone used dilly bags . Women used the big ones for carrying gear , and leaching food to get the toxins out , the Maubin ( spelling I am not sure of but he was both healer and assassin by bone pointing ) used a special one made from human hair spun then knotted into a bag , he carried special things in it no one was allowed to know what they were tho .
I have only seen them made by women . I think tho that like most things , if there are no girls around to do the " girls work " then the men will , its a needed item , its going to have to come from somewhere .
The knots and patterns used tho in some bags are special , the history of that girls family and her own story . At least this is what I was told by a couple older ladies .
I have to add a disclaimer tho , what I have seen and learned by being with different peoples , does differ at times with official govt approved recorded history . It also differes tribe to tribe .
