Santa Fe Indian Market is the largest of its kind in the world, attracting over 115,000 attendees each year. It culminates with its Haute Couture Fashion Show. The show highlights Indigenous fashion designers who look to their cultural past to create clothing, jewelry and accessories that embody the essence of ancestral memory while creating innovative designs representing the now. Through interviews with the show’s creator, designers, models, and attendees, “Walk With Pride” challenges notions of what’s considered “traditional” and “authentic” and through the lens of the show, offers a contemporary view of evolving Native American and First Nation’s identities.
