Trade ornament usage among the native peoples of Canada : a source book / by Karlis Karklins.: R61-2/9-56E
From the time the two groups first came into contact in the sixteenth century, Canada's native people saw design potential in a wide range of European trinkets. They took mundane objects such as glass beads, thimbles, spoons, mirrors and coins and transformed them into intricate fashion statements. Their creativity is detailed in "Trade Ornament Usage Among the Native Peoples of Canada", a thoroughly researched and illustrated history of native tailoring up to 1900. By detailing their culture through personal adornment, author Karlis Karlins provides a fresh historical view of Canada's native peoples.
