Our ancestors have come to visit: Reconnections with
Blackfoot Shirts (More
Info)
March 26 – May 16, 2010
More than a century and a half ago, five Blackfoot hide
shirts decorated with porcupine quills, paint and human
hair were acquired by the Hudson’s Bay Company
during their travels and encounters with the First Nations
people. Join us to see these historically significant
shirts during their return visit to Canada and learn
about their importance to bridging past events and stories
with the contemporary lives of the Blackfoot people.
