Abstract
Pertains to the utilitarian role of Indigenous crafts and art. The publication explores the roles of crafts and the ways in which they proved to be greatly important in the everyday life of Indigenous Peoples. The publication includes artwork, crafts and other forms of creative expression, in addition to a written component that works to supplement the untrained reader. The displays are reflective of both the culture and spirituality of Canada’s Indigenous Peoples.
