The Anishinaabeg: Art and Power TORONTO—From June 17–19, 2017, the Royal Ontario Museum will present an exhibition that delves into the rich and powerful culture of the Anishinaabeg. It is a rare opportunity to learn about their lives, traditions, beliefs, and sacred stories. Anishinaabeg: Art and Power traces the artistic evolution of this group of related northern North American tribes from ancient times to the present day. The art of the Anishinaabeg was strongly infl uenced by the contacts they had with other indigenous groups and by the arrival of Europeans in Canada. The exhibition examines the range of these connections while presenting the great beauty and power of the cultural past of these remarkable peoples. MUSEUM NEWS TOP: Tunic.

Andean textiles vary according to the place they were made, and their manufacture combines the use of complex and unique weaving techniques with striking imagery. They display a wide range of designs and had a variety of functions. Created by the Siguas, the Huari, the Chancay, and the Inca, they indicated status, position, and wealth at religious ceremonies. Nowadays, they also express precious information about the geography, the environment, and the societies that created them.
