Button Blanket

Young Canada Works students at the Nisga’a Museum have been creating a replica button blanket over the summer, with the help of the Museum’s manager and Laxgibuu member Fran Johnson. The original blanket originated with the Laxgibuu(wolf) tribe of the Nisga’a Nation, and was repatriated from the Royal BC Museum as part of the Nisga’a Treaty. It is currentlyat the Canadian Conservation Institute being cleaned and repaired so that it can be put on display at the Museum.
