Can anyone help with this e-mail I received? She believes it's from the Mic-Mac tribe.

There's a series of postcards showing Native American art, produced by the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative Limited. That's all I can recall coming across, but I'm not your foremost '67 Expo collector.

Thanks, Randy. If anyone has any of those and if they might show this dress please let me know and I'll pass it along.
