The Present Begins Here
This exhibition ends at the beginning of the industrial age. Then as now, most people wore imported shoes, made by machines. Then as now, large shoe stores catered for people’s needs, using advertising to attract the customer’s attention and to sell their wares. Then as now, people had a wide variety of affordable shoes from which to choose. Think how different this approach is from the family-centred footwear traditions of the Inuit and First Nations.
Yet we all need shoes that can deal with the snow, the ice, the mud, and the dust - part of the way we live On Canadian Ground. |
