Hi everybody I’ve posted a new video on my YouTube channel celebrating my @mapleleagirls doll Jenna‘s birthday. Please check it out it would mean a lot to me. Image Description a photo of a red haired doll wearing a white sweatshirt with Canadian Girl embroidered on it in red, a red and white mapleleaf patterned headband and a pair or grey leggings. The doll is holding a plated slice of birthday cake and there is a table next to her with a pink, purple and yellow two tier cake on a purple cake stand with a candle on top as well as another plated slice of cake with a fork and a napkin and a glass of lemonade. The text reads BC’s Doll Place: Happy Birthday Jenna 2025! (With Subtitles).

Indigenous Canadian dolls 🧡
Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, also known as orange shirt day, we wear an orange shirt, typically with the slogan “Every Child Matters”, in remembrance and acknowledgement of what happened to Indigenous children in residential schools.
As a doll blog I feel like it is only fitting for me to highlight some amazing Indigenous Canadian artists and dolls on here!
Saila Qilavvaq from Maplelea Girls
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/67c4785c23afd75b6956af442db382f0/5c9740b639e60f85-e0/s540x810/eacb50d270235bc678d8e964e516003e375457c0.jpg)
Saila Qilavvaq is a Maplelea Girl doll who is from Iqaluit, Nunavut. She wants to be a fashion designer who brings an Inuit flair to her looks. Each Maplelea doll comes with a journal and Salia’s is the first to be written in English, French, and Inuktitut!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e76340a2b3ca2a0722f25b4130005ee1/5c9740b639e60f85-49/s500x750/ae3b99a9dbf8824ce5211280a8cdb64dfc020e37.jpg)
Along with the dolls, Maplelea Girls also makes fashion packs you can buy. Here we have the orange “Every Child Matters” shirt, Saila wearing a traditional Amauti coat, and Canyon’s Dress which was designed by Teresa Snow (the outfit is based on an outfit she made for her own daughter, Canyon)

Ribbon Skirt dolls by Tracy Boucher
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f3d57ca0c5db16524418a6449d3bc566/5c9740b639e60f85-76/s540x810/9e1358e3d9a96aa785b385a90a91616966f44331.jpg)
These custom Ribbon Skirt dolls are meant to show women, girls, and two-spirit individuals their worth and bring attention to the MMIWG movement. Ribbon skirts are meant to be floor length and touch the ground to have connection to the Earth. Boucher further discusses the dolls and the meaning of the ribbon skirt in this interview.
No-Face dolls by Audrey “Bill” Wilson
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e1a41bbdd9c5bfeed58be4fb7b6117bb/5c9740b639e60f85-7d/s540x810/7b0cc996b958121ee5c5cebaab17e13daafd9e19.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/71e656c85688d1f3ae70b51b025e1a58/5c9740b639e60f85-07/s540x810/177af9a6d35d5c28f5163efead451f97abfa76bb.jpg)
Wilson is a Chippewas woman who based these dolls off an indigenous story of a girl who is too vain and so the Great Spirits take away her face. The story is meant to be a lesson to children about humility. More of this story can be found in this interview. 
Whetung Ojibwa dolls
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d63d42442d4e70d3e5c5b2b49c2bf443/5c9740b639e60f85-a4/s540x810/5356e7118e995f1592f577cc6fc6270bab7517eb.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4a9a053744fd23656eff255b51a929fc/5c9740b639e60f85-2c/s540x810/21b4fc0a9e894ea3b7b8a0aaa0a6105df808afa6.jpg)
In the 1960s the Whetung family began crafting more to sell at their store (now the Whetung Ojibwa Centre, a museum with indigenous art to purchase). The doll in the blue dress is named Waboose Whetung and if you find her hidden around the Whetung Ojibwa Centre you can get $5 off your purchase. More information about the Whetung history can be found here.

Maplelea just released a ton of new stuff! There's a lot more than I've posted here, so go check it out!
If you're not familiar with Maplelea, I recommend you click through and take a look. Their clothes and accessories fit American Girl dolls, Our Generation dolls, and similar 18 inch dolls. And the quality is utterly superb, especially for the price. If you're in the United States, make sure to select the US dollars option up at the top bar.
Outfits with the "coming soon" logo aren't quite available for ordering yet, but will be in the next 1-4 weeks.

Lots of the newly released items are for Camp Maplelea, a set of summer camp-themed clothes and accessories.

Snowdrift Sweatpants pattern

New pattern releasing on my Etsy shop on February 8th!!
I designed them for Maplelea dolls, but I'm really hoping they'll fit other brands too.
(And somehow, I don't have pictures of dolls in them yet, but Victoria has tried them on, and they fit spectacularly!)

American Girl has decided to sell out and make Disney Princess dolls, the majority of whom are not from the US but Europe, because money
Therefore, by their logic, it is ok for them to make and sell character dolls of characters that aren’t from the US
Anne of Green Gables is Canadian, but I’ve seen a lot of custom Anne AG dolls during my time on the internet. American Girl presumably ade the Princess dolls because people had already been making custom Princess dolls for over a decade, so they decided to do it themselves and make more money. Do they should make an Anne doll, as there is a market for it
⚠️This post is not meant to be taken seriously. This is just me being salty over the Disney Princess dolls. If any doll brand were to make an Anne doll, it should be Maplelea, the actual Canadian doll brand

I was browsing the Maplelea website and saw that they have a new Indigenous Outfit. It's designed by a First Nations woman, Teresa Snow, and based on regalia belonging to her daughter, Canyon.
I think American Girl would do well to imitate this style of partnership.

This is so cool. Logan looks adorable. I bought this set when I was in Toronto I recently bought a 3D printed dinosaur skull to add to the set
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9288932ab98fab58880527224184105d/502cc9fadda87688-e1/s540x810/5275892b74bc7eb192021d3588a7d1dc7a417875.jpg)
I have recently ordered from Maplelea for the first time, and am very impressed by the quality and value of their doll clothes. Logan is wearing the Paleontology outfit, which included everything shown except for the sneakers and the table. Cost was 50.00 Canadian, which is about $37.00 in U.S. dollars. Maplelea sells many gender neutral outfits, which makes me very happy since my boy dolls have limited wardrobes! The outfits often do not include shoes, which is not a problem since the shoes may or may not fit Ag dolls. Apparently Maplelea dolls have longer and slimmer feet, and sandals in particular will not fit AG dolls.
I also purchased the Explore More Camp outfit, which is super cute, the orange t-shirt, which has a touching back-story, and two pairs of pjs. I sort of already have a long wish-list.

Meet Clover! She is my new MeiMei doll.
MeiMei was a brand that was briefly sold on Amazon a few years ago. As far as I can tell, these dolls are no longer in production, and aren't easy to find secondhand. Coincidentally, I happen to like hunting down rare dolls, so it all worked out perfectly.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9dc2bc4da78694836127f903db77df6e/ded39e55748cff62-a2/s540x810/69f3301a3dd0ed66052daf931ca1e8d47faa1fd2.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bd9cba09d48bb05428c41efd3c41123a/ded39e55748cff62-18/s540x810/d3eef51236fb925062d2311a9da20ae6b40a80fa.jpg)
Her hair is nice quality. She's got dark green eyes, a rarity in my doll family, and her eyes open and close. I may add to her lip color, since it's a little pale. She's built to be very sturdy, but is quite petite, and fits into all my slim doll clothes easily. A lot of American Girl sized clothes are a little too big on her.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d30a3b7206b50b39f28dc0d3c48c5d8d/ded39e55748cff62-aa/s540x810/30ad751af7be7a6f204ac65a4d0007e04516c684.jpg)
But some aren't. Her shirt is Our Generation, and her shoes are Maplelea.
She's adorable, but I was surprised that she doesn't have much articulation. She can only move her arms and legs forward and backward, not outward. So no horseback riding or softball. I'm sure she'll find other hobbies to participate in. There's always something fun to do in my house.
