Native/American Fashion: Inspiration, Appropriation, and Cultural Identity explores fashion as a creative endeavor and an expression of cultural identity, the history of Native fashion, issues of problematic cultural appropriation in the field, and examples of creative collaborations and best practices between Native designers and fashion brands.

His talk is titled Clothes along the Mohawk: Fashion, Exchange, and Appropriation among the Peoples of Early New York. Timothy J.
