Indians made a lot of rawhide bags and boxes. Off hand I can't think of a written pre 1840 westrn accont of whites useing rawhide bags.I have seen HBC Small boxes made of rawhide,but can't say the were pre 1840.Did whites see them and use them?I would think so, but you can go with a cloth bag and be sure they were used.
