- Chris @TheWanderingBull shows detailed instructions on how make a 2" round porcupine and deer hair head roach. You will learn about different styles such as turkey beard roaches, flat roaches and teardrop roaches as well as the use of different materials such as deer hair, turkey hair, horse hair and blond porcupine hair.
Using a loom, Chris demonstrates how to use the hitch knot with single-ply sinew to create a 7" strand of porcupine and deer hair. Then see how to attach it to a handmade yarn base. Finally see the way different styles of roaches are worn.
Head Roach Headdresses are worn by men in a number of Native American tribes in New England, great lakes and Missouri River regions.

Thanks for continuing to share your knowledge.
Thanks for watching!
I keep looking for good videos like this one, thank god someone actually shows how to do it, and has good camera quality! Thank you!
That's great! Thanks for watching!
It also helps to soak the ends of the porky hair in water while you are tying. It helps the ends be more malleable where they aren't bending too hard and gives more life to the roach without the hairs breaking over time.
Thank you, & thanks for watching!

Osiyo Thank you for sharing. I am part of a new tribal clan. and starting to grow. I need all the knowledge I can get.
Thanks for watching!
My resident porcupine was killed by another animal but I salvaged what I could. I sorted all the guard hairs and wondered what I could do with them. I probably don't have enough to make a full roach, but I would love to try. Maybe I can combine materials and make something unique. Thanks so much for the tutorial, this is such a beaitiful headdress.
Hey, thanks for watching! You could start a roach and add to it as you get more hair. Or perhaps tuft it like moose hair on leather into a design.
@@thewanderingbull9843 thanks for the encouragement and great idea! I appreciate it.
You should make a video on a shield I would love to see that and helpful please
We don't have a video currently on how to make a shield, thank you for the suggestion! We are always looking for new ideas. Currently we have a video on painting raw hide. You could check that out. To make the shield, a whole hide would be dried over a fire very slowly making it very thick. If it is something you will be using during a dance and want a lighter piece, you could use a hoop and stretch it around that as a smaller shield. Hope this helps & thanks for watching!
I have bought one on your guys website and wanted to add more dyed hair to it, I’ll try this
Thanks for watching!
Osiyo. Do you know if the flat roaches were prevalent among the Tsalagi? Would you consider making a short video on the flat roach and its construction? -Wado🙏
The flat roaches were not prevalent for the Tsalagi, however through trading it it would have been worn by some. We don't currently have a video on how to make the flat roach, but the technique for tying the hair would be the same, and then you would put it between two pieces of leather. Please feel free to call the shop with any questions - 1-800-430-2855. We would be able to discuss it with you and send some pictures if needed. Thanks for watching!
@@thewanderingbull9843 Wado! That helps a ton as I am currently constructing one and have been waiting on an answer as many museums could not answer that question. What are the operating hours and a good time to call?
@@TaylorsAuthenticTraditions We are open 8:30-4:30 EST Monday through Friday. Call any day!
Hi Taylor, we have the images of the flat roach you requested. Please contact sales@wanderingbull.com so we can get those to you. Thank you!

Awesome brother, Aho

How many ounces of porky quills did this project take? If we were to make an 18 inch roach, how many punces should i order?
Hey, thanks for watching! So for an 18" roach you will want to use porcupine hair and not quills. You will need approx. 3 ounces sorted - use the longer hair in the front, then medium length and shorter in the back. Please feel free to call the shop if you have any questions! 800-430-2855
Will real sinew work for the base cord instead of imitation
Yes you can use real sinew instead of imitation. Hey thanks for watching!
I'm planning on hunting a porcupine soon ive been looking for something to do with the quills and guard hairs
Thanks for watching! So many options, have fun!
Hey just caught a porcupine with my bow do i need just one porcupine to make a roach?
You will want to get two or three because you want to use the long hair down the neck of the animal. Thanks for watching!
Make any bear grizzly bear claw necklaces?
Hello, I have only made one with reproduction claws. Thanks for watching.
Do I tie the same with synthetic hair
Yes the process would be the same. Thanks for watching!
What those haircut name?
Hi there. My son has a roach but tying it under the chin is breaking the hairs. How can he attach it without going through the hairs?
Are you using two anchor points? The second one in the back behind your ears can be attached to the piece around your chin. Thanks for watching!
@@thewanderingbull9843 Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, but what we need to know is how it's attached UNDER the roach. Do you sew it to the fabric part? His strips have been attached on top and over the roach and that's what's wrecking it.
@@susanwadds2024 Here are some pictures of how the roach is attached. I hope this helps! drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KQroG1fRQg-eZeRfhTK1DED97MOJ35F5?usp=sharing
