Sewing Our Traditions:
Dolls of Canada's North

An exhibition of hand-made dolls crafted by Inuit and First Nations artisans from northern Canada. For generations, women in northern communities used dolls to teach their daughters the important skills of cutting and sewing hides and furs. The dolls reflect northern life, fashion and customs.

From miniature, intricate details such as beaded moccasins to locally trapped fur and home-tanned hides, these thirty doll makers have created evocative portraits of their communities and traditions.
