Please note that these are the highlights I picked from the book, there are 24 pages originally but my scanner wasn't big enough to scan spreads. I only managed to combine one spread.

The other pages are mostly paragraph oriented.

"Passe-temps et articles pour enfants," No.9 of a nine-fascicule series documenting Plains Cree and Chippewa crafts

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 18:11:15 +0000

A nine-book government-sponsored series documenting Indigenous crafts and material culture.

Designed by Eiko Emori in 1975 for the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, this series gives you direct insight into Canadas approach to cultural preservation and public education at the time. It formed part of a broader federal effort to inventory and record what were framed as “traditional” practices. These traditional practices were considered "craft" rather than "art" — an important distinction that reflects prevailing attitudes toward Indigenous cultural production at the time.

Each part of the series focuses on a specific theme — such as tools, clothing, transport, children’s items, or ceremonial objects — using photography and black-and-white illustration with minimal text to emphasize visual clarity and accessibility.

Emori’s visual approach is directly connected to her earlier work in Japanese children’s publishing, where she helped transform outdated, dense, multi-volume series into cohesive, inviting systems that raised the standard and quality of the field. Educated at Central School of Art and Design in the UK, and at Yale in the US, Eiko Emori brought a perspective uncommon in outdated institutional design contexts. A funny thing she said to me was how she described government in-house designers as “captured designers" 😂 — designers who worked within closed government systems, and who were sort of tied down by bureaucracy.

Artisanat, Cris des Plaines et Chippewas can be understood not only as a federal documentation project, but also as an extension of Emori’s lifelong commitment to clarity, pedagogy, elevating indigenous language/visual culture, and book design as a vehicle for cultural transmission, reframed through a Canadian governmental lens.
