∞Tawnshi (greeting in Michif)∞

The Métis (my father) are Canadians of mixed First Nations and European (mostly French or Scottish) descent. Formerly pejoratively called "Halfbreeds" and denied even the limited land rights held by treaty First Nations peoples, they are now recognized as a distinctive First Nations group within Canada.  Hopefully it goes well...

Bohemian refers to a resident of the former Kingdom of Bohemia (my maternal grandfather), either in a narrow sense as the region of Bohemia proper or in a wider meaning as the whole country, now known as the Czech Republic. In English, the word "Bohemian" was used to denote the Czech people before the word "Czech" became prevalent.

 "Bohemian" (boho - informal) may also denote "a socially unconventional person, especially one who is involved in the arts."  The term has become associated with various alternative artistic or academic communities and is used as a generalized adjective describing such people, environs, or situations: bohemian is defined in The American College Dictionary as "a person with artistic or intellectual tendencies, who lives and acts with no regard for conventional rules of behavior."  Mostly these days it is referred to as a lifestyle or mode of dress.

"Boho Métis"is the blending of my two backgrounds.  I love clothes almost as much as I love music and have always considered myself visually as I do with words and music. This blog is intended as a record of clothing as an expression of bohemian style as well as the fashion of the day.  If you are curious about my music please check out www.janetpanic.com.
