The medicine bag was traditionally used to hold items that provided protection from evil spirits. Within Alutiiq/Sugpiaq culture when an infant was born the amniotic sac was dried by the midwife and put into the medicine bag. It was then placed around the infants' neck. The medicine bag provided reassurance and protection for the infant.
