The increasing popularity of Indigenous clothing and designs can get complicated
Eunice Ketchemonia-Cote, who creates unique ribbon skirts and star blankets says social media can be a double-edge sword for home-based artists like herself.
From the Keeseekoose First Nation, she often posts and sells her items on Facebook because it’s a quick way to showcase her work.
As a result, Ketchemonia-Cote’s one-of-a-kind designs have been replicated without her consent more times than she can remember.
“I think it’s a problem that happens a lot more than people realize,” said Audrey Dreaver, an artist and program co-ordinator of Indigenous Fine Arts at the First Nations University of Canada.
