Lewis and Clark Pouches

I am trying to find a list of all the tribes that made pouches for the 2004 coin and pouch program. Is there such a list? Even better would be a list that included the artists from each tribe. Can someone please post a list or a link to where I might find one? I have googled it to death and can't find anything except the recall.

Dang, that's one heck of a lot of different pouches! What kind of leather? Did the Gov't provide
the leather or did the tribe or artist? Just curious.

I just remember thinking "uh...leather?!?" This was around the time of my wood rally.

The hickory smoke scent of these was aromatic. I remember the mint warning in the OGP to separate the two or end up with problems with the coins , potentially. Anyone else remember that ? I wonder if anyone didn't take heed and stored their coin outside of the capsule and in the pouch. Bet it looks "crazy sick" by now.

I purchased 4 at the time and they each graded MS 69. I gave them to my partners and kept one. Each pouch was uniquely different and unless I were to go back and ask my partners, I'm pressed for remembering which tribes they came out of. There were several tribes commissioned in the production of the Lewis & Clark commemorative Coin and Pouch sets, as I recall.

Beautiful collection, my dream is to put something like that together but the real nice ones rarely come up for sale.

The indians had to provide the leather and it had to be deer, elk, or buffalo

I remember stating here this would happen as soon as I heard about the leather pouch. This was before the OGP insert.
