New hair for a vintage Inuit doll


 This is 'Shelley'. She has arrived to get new hair.

She was originally sold in 1967 as a souvenir doll for Canada's centennial. The dolls came either dressed as an "Eskimo" or an "Indian Boy".






She had had her original hair replaced by a wig. Unfortunately the wig style does not suit her heritage. She should have black straight hair.













Once the wig comes off you can see that this doll started life with rooted hair.













Here she is with the rooted hair replaced.
