Long Ago Sewing We Will Remember / Yeenoo Dai’ K'E'tr'ijilkai’ Ganagwaandaii: The Story of the Gwich'in Traditional Caribou Skin Clothing Project

Judy Thompson,Ingrid Kritsch

A three-year collaboration between the Gwich'in – the most northerly of Canada’s Athapaskan peoples – the CanadianMuseum of Civilization, and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre has resulted in a revival of skills and knowledge employed in making traditional clothing of caribou skin. Over 40 seamstresses created five reproductions of an elegant nineteenthcentury summer outfit from the museum’s collection. This richly illustrated book is an indispensable resource on Gwich'in culture and heritage, and on modern partnerships between museums and Native peoples.
