some UK vintage shop has a jacket from the 1850s from the Red River settlement that either has Métis or Anishinaabe beadwork on it and i’ve been trying to get into contact with them because me and my friends think we know where it’s from (The Brokenhead community, now classified as nish but was very Métis in the 1850s) and the vintage shop is IGNORING MEEEEE. they’re liking comments suggesting random museums not even in manitoba.
i suggested the Manitoba Métis Federation and the Manitoba Craft Museum and Library, i’m not the biggest fan of the MMF politically but they have nice temp controlled facilities to hold our cultural objects.

A tegnapi macska nincs meg, viszont:
Feleségem egyszer látott olyan posztot is, ahol egy pávát találtak.
Hiába, falun azért vidámabb az élet.
