We come in peace, with gifts
The Trudeaus went to Washington bearing gifts for the Obamas — including their dogs.
FOR BARACK OBAMA
Courage, a sculpture by Leo Arcand, a Woodland Cree from the Alexander First Nations reserve in Northern Alberta. Themes of power and peace are interwoven in the piece.
FOR MICHELLE OBAMA
A native aboriginal beaded cape by Tammy Beauvais, a fourth-generation artisan from Kahnawake, Quebec.
FOR THE OBAMA CHILDREN, MALIA AND SASHA Maverick scarves by Ottawa designer Krista Norris.
FOR THE OBAMA DOGS, BO AND SUNNY Muttluks, all-weather dog boots.
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
150 maple trees.
