We are searching on how to make a shawl dress. We are from the Ojibway First Nation from Manitoba, but live in New Brunswick. We would like to follow a pattern that will represent our nation. If you can help, we would appreciate it.

Also I am searching for the name of my great-grandmother who was married to Peter Oudie from Lizard Point Reserve (now call Waywayseecappo) in Manitoba. She had three children with him. Their names were Annie White-Cloud, Stephen Oudie and Gilbert Oudie. Gilbert Oudie is my grandfather and my father's name is Phillip Oudie. My greatgrand mother came from the Sissiton area and I think that's from North Dakota and she was from the Souix Nation.
Your help would also be greatly appreciated.
Meegwetch.
