What kind of winter clothes did the indigenous people of the Okanagan valley wear, is there anywhere you can purchase similar styles today?
Hi i'm an international student who has been here for about a year and a half now. Recently I became interested in the winter clothing of the ancient peoples in Canada and other cold places, as obviously they did not have the technology people have today. I assumed they wore stuff made of animal skins and fur. When searching on google I find some pictures of the clothes worn by indigenous people, but if any of you have more resources on them that would be nice because for some reason i can only find a couple.
I was also wondering if there is anywhere in the area where we could buy winter clothing that the indigenous people of the Okanagan valley wore. I kinda feel like I could use some new winter clothes and from the pics I can find on google I really liked some of the examples and it looks cooler then anything I own.
I would also like to support the local community here so if there are any Syilx owned shops in kelowna that sell the ancestral winter clothes of the people of the Okanagan valley I would appreciate any recommendations. It does not need to be 100% authentic or made of real animal fur either, just functional and looks similar to how the "real" thing looks
