Gichi-oodenaang Ogichidaag, or City Warriors in Ojibwe, presented by Lesley Hampton was a stunning collection that explored the origin of the Native American jingle dress. Based on the Ojibwe teachings, the jingle dress is used in Powwow celebrations to empower a community. This was demonstrated in an emotional opening to the show by a dancer performing to the beat of a drum, wearing said dress. It created an energy in the room. The collection crossed the barriers of size, shape and gender and offered fresh look at welcoming our differences.
