Wearing Our Identity. The First Peoples Collection
What do your clothes say about you? For the First Peoples of Canada, clothing is not just a protective layer; it reflects the wearer’s age and social status, reveals the nation they belong to, pays tribute to remarkable exploits or highlights the intimate bond between humans and nature. At the intersection of tradition and innovation, the social, political, cultural and spiritual life of First Peoples reveals itself, one stitch at a time.
