Geschiedenis van het archief

These patterns were collected during Jill Oakes and Rick Riewe's numerous research trips to northern communities. Jill's research documents the factors influencing skin clothing production throughout the circumpolar region and focuses on how information is passed on from one generation to the next, why skin clothing traditions are culturally important, and the role seamstresses play in recording their cultural history into their families' clothing.
