Is there such a thing made by any Native American tribe to hold baby teeth?

Question

I dreamed (very vividly) about making a traditional holder made out of some sort of special yarn. It was very colorful and I had made them for each of my 4 children.
Somehow this seemed very special. Has anyone heard of this?
I was thinking it might be Cherokee (since I am part Cherokee) but not sure. Thanks.

This is one listing that perhaps you can investigate (they might know someone who could make one for you) - others are listed on the link below:
