The Hardin High School Crow Language class hosted its first Indigenous fashion show on Friday. Local Crow designers used students to model their clothing with the goal of promoting a positive lifestyle and building self-esteem and confidence in Native culture.
Hardin High sits on the northern edge of the Crow reservation, which takes up the majority of Bighorn County. The school’s student body is 75% Native.
Yolanda GoodVoice one of the four designers brought in for the event drew on emotions to create her pieces. One of her collections the students wore is called “gratitude,” aimed at teaching the students how to give thanks for being Native American and for the life they have.
This collection consisted of everyday wear such as leggings or jackets that incorporate Crow design patterns and rely on primary colors and symbols seen in Crow Culture. The other is called “live” and teaches the students about living in the moment and being present.
