In the past, traditional Aboriginal clothing was made of animal skins. It was decorated with feathers, porcupine quills, animal teeth or beads.
When the Europeans arrived, the Aboriginal people incorporated traditional European-style decorations into their clothing, such as metal buttons and cloth ribbons.
These clothes are no longer worn every day, but they are sometimes used for ceremonies or festivals, such as the powwow.
Moccasins are still very popular today. The moccasins that artisans from various nations make today differ in model (shape), height (ankle, calf, knee) and how they are decorated.
Traditional jewellery is still often worn to assert the Aboriginal identity. The most popular kinds of jewellery are bracelets, necklaces and pendants of animal sculptures and traditional symbols.
