Fashion designer Korina Emmerich of Emme Studio started creating face masks well before the pandemic took hold.1 Emmerich鈥檚 designs are an expression of her Indigenous heritage from The Coast Salish Territory, Puyallup tribe.2 Her masks in particular are meant to raise awareness for various Indigenous issues and symbolise sacred relationships between humans and animals.3 They are made of Pendleton fabrics, which Emmerich has admitted adds a tongue-in-cheek element, 鈥渃onsidering our history of being impacted by biological warfare in blankets during the smallpox epidemic.鈥4
