Abstract | This chapter explores dress in the ‘contact zones’ of North America, Australia, and Aotearoa/New Zealand: places where First Peoples and European newcomers intermingled and clashed with each other, some on the frontiers of settlement and others in cities such as Washington. The period of focus for each of these regions ends in 1850. The point at which it begins depends on the locality: 1700, in the case of North America; and 1788, in the case of Australasia, the year in which Britain founded the penal colony of New South Wales. While I pay some attention to what Europeans wore in zones of cross-cultural contact, my main interest is the distinctive fashions that Indigenous peoples produced through ‘selective adoptions and adaptations’ of European garments and materials, paying special heed to their decorative elements. |
