- Raven's ribbons / by Spillett, Tasha,1988-; Ramirez, Daniel(Illustrator);
A joyous celebration of gender expression through an Indigenous lens, by author Tasha Spillett and Ojibwe elder Daniel Ramirez. Raven loves round dances. The drums sing to the people, and the people dance to their songs. Raven especially loves dancing with his grandma, sidestepping to the rhythm of the drums. His favourite part of all is watching the ribbon skirts swirl like rainbows. "Nohkum, do you think a boy could wear a ribbon skirt?" Raven asks his grandmother one day. She tells him she has lived for a long time, but she has never seen it. That evening, she sews late into the night, and Raven awakes to a rainbow skirt of his own. "I've lived for a long time," his grandma says, "and I'm lucky to see beautiful things that I've never seen before." At the next dance, Raven wears the swirl of unique ribbons with pride. With illustrations infused with joy and colour, this moving intergenerational story celebrates self-expression, honouring traditions, and finding room for reinvention.- Subjects: Picture books.; Indigenous peoples; Ribbon skirts; Gender expression; Dance;

- From the rez to the runway : forging my path in fashion : a memoir / by Allaire, Christian,1992-author.; Beker, Jeanne,writer of foreword.;
"Growing up on the Nipissing First Nation reserve in Northern Ontario, Christian Allaire wanted to work in the fashion industry, a future that seemed like a remote, and unlikely, dream. He was first introduced to style and design through his culture's traditional Ojibwe powwow regalia--ribbon skirts, beaded belts, elaborate headdresses. But as a teenager, he became transfixed by the high-fashion designs and runway shows that he saw on Fashion Television and in the pages of Vogue. His unwavering interest in fashion led him to complete a journalism degree so he could pursue his goal of becoming a full-time fashion writer. After landing his first big magazine job in New York City, Allaire found himself working at the epicentre of the international fashion industry. His dream had come true. Yet he soon realized the fashion world--and his place in it--wasn't always quite as glamorous as he imagined it would be. From grinding as an unpaid intern, to becoming a glitzy (but overworked) fashion editor, Allaire writes with feeling about the struggle to find his place--and community--in the highly exclusive world of fashion. And he recounts, with great candour, the difficulty of balancing his ambitions with the often-inaccurate perceptions--including his own--of his culture's place in the realm of fashion. Full of joy, honesty, adversity, and great clothes, From the Rez to the Runway is a gripping memoir about how to achieve your dreams--and elevate others--while always remaining true to yourself."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Allaire, Christian, 1992-; Fashion editors; Fashion editors;
