    Birch-Bark Biting

    Birch-bark biting is the art of dentally perforating designs on intricately folded sheets of paper-thin bark. Traditionally, the technique is known to have been practised by Ojibwe (or Chippewa), Cree and other Algonquian peoples who used birchbark extensively in fabricating domestic containers, architectural coverings, canoes and pictographic scrolls. Indigenous artists have kept the practice alive in spite of colonial efforts to culturally assimilate Indigenous peoples into Canadian society. (See also History of Indigenous Art in Canada and Contemporary Indigenous Art in Canada.)

    Birchbark Etching

    Birchbark etching is a traditional cultural practice used by some Indigenous peoples in Canada, including the Dene, Anishinaabe and nations in the Wabanaki Confederacy (see also Mi’kmaq; Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet); Abenaki). Some functional vessels such as baskets and bowls were adorned with cultural iconography and floral motifs, though not all. During the 19th century, narrative-driven storytelling began to appear on the surface of functional birchbark objects. Some of these objects were sold as souvenirs to European settlers or visitors. The practice was in decline for much of the 20th century. However, the sustained efforts of artists and makers led to its reestablishment around the turn of the 21st century. Since then, birchbark etching has undergone a series of profound changes. It now appears in contemporary fashion, jewellery design, cosplay, fine art and more. The practice is also prevalent among major Indigenous art markets, fairs and competitions. Today, birchbark etching has become a strong example of Indigenous cultural renewal in Canada.
