INDIGENOUS CLOTHING RESEARCH


Garments - 1900 - 2000 Resources

A list of sources with a focus on historical garments. Includes books, texts, descriptions, photos, etc. Keep in mind that some of these resources have not been written by Indigenous people and racial/political/social biases of the times (including the present) should be kept in mind when using a reference written or compiled by someone outside the culture of a specific nation.

It is common practice and highly encouraged to include an indigenous consultant on any production involving indigenous or indigenous-inspired costuming or content.

This research was created by Capilano University costuming students, supervised by faculty. Something missing? Let us know: dgingrich@capilanou.ca
