Urban Native Girl Stuff

After watching the Amy Parent interview, I wanted to learn a little more about urban youth. This was one of the sites that I came across, and it has a number of posts on the page about designer clothing, jewellery, and purses inspired by traditional aboriginal clothing or traditions. The posts are more than just “here is the latest!” though. The author takes time to consider how the commodification of her culture impacts how it is viewed by others and how (or if) the history behind the items has been considered.

In addition to blogging about native inspired fashion, the author also talks about living an urban life in Toronto. All in all, it is another interesting look inside the life of urban aboriginal youth.
