Artists Recreate New Regalia From The Designs Of The Past

As four Mi’kmaw artists painstakingly sew and bead an outfit that replicates 180-year-old regalia, they wish they knew more about the woman who made the original. One artists says of working 8 hours a day, five days a week, “What keeps me going when it comes to bead work is the thought of, if my ancestors could do it today, what it would look like? It’s kind of like continuing the story that they couldn’t live to tell.” – CBC
