This week we bid farewell to a caribou-hide hunting coat as it departs for @CreeCulture. The coat holds special significance for Indigenous communities and we're delighted to see it return home. Special thanks to the great team at Aanischaaukamikw. bristol.gov.uk/newsroom/brist…

I am honoured to be invited to join Bishop’s Board of Governors, to which I hope to bring a distinct Indigenous perspective.

“A young caribou’s hide was used for children’s winter coats. The hats were attached and made from the caribou’s head with the ears left on. My mother said the Elders used to wear the same kind of coats.” Maggie Natachequan @CreeCulture bit.ly/2W5dJ9J #FootprintsExhibit

Nous continuons de porter des mitaines et des mocassins comme accessoires de tous les jours. Nous réservons à la chasse et aux cérémonies ceux qui sont joliment décorés. @CreeCulture bit.ly/30VKtpE #ExpoEmpreintes

We still use mittens and moccasins for everyday wear. We keep specially decorated ones for hunting and ceremonies. @CreeCulture bit.ly/2W5dJ9J #FootprintsExhibit

Nous fabriquons de nombreux types de raquettes, à partir de différents matériaux. Les puutuwisaamich (en forme de patte d’ours) sont privilégiées pour le travail autour des campements, par exemple pour recueillir du bois. @CreeCulture bit.ly/30VKtpE #ExpoEmpreintes

We have many styles of snowshoes made from different materials. Puutuwisaamich (bear paw snowshoes) are preferred for work close to camp like gathering wood. @CreeCulture bit.ly/2W5dJ9J #FootprintsExhibit

Our traditional clothing made of hides and furs protected us in all seasons as we walked across our vast territory. We still use mittens and moccasins for everyday wear. @CreeCulture bit.ly/2W5dJ9J #FootprintsExhibit

#DYK Istchee means "the land" in Cree. Istchee is where we, the Eeyou, have lived and walked for generations. It’s not only a physical place, it’s a living, breathing extension of who we are. #FootprintsExhibit @aanischaaukamikw @GCIndigenous, #NIPDCanada bit.ly/2W5dJ9J
