Antique Native American Beaded Flat Great Lakes Chippewa Ojibwe Early 19th C

Square velvet fabric piece - probably part of a flat bag - featuring floral design in European glass trade beads, hand made, finished edge, cotton backing. Great Lakes region - possibly Chippewa or Ojibwe? Very good condition for it's age, bead work intact, stains on the backside, wear at edges, slight thinning of velvet in areas - please see pics. Lovely historically intact piece, unusual black background, bright bead work.
