tansi,

tansi clothing has recently added two Metis images that promote the Michif language, The two new designs include a picture of Louis Riel with the word pride and a picture of a family in a cart with the word courage below the image. We have also included three Cree words: Strength, I Love Life, and another tansi. The new tansi is an image of a kohkom with the word tansi below. 

tansi clothing will be introducing eight, possibly ten, more designs, by the end of August. The new designs will include words by the Dene, Inuktitut and Ojibway. You can see a sneak peak of the designs on the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/tansiclothing

Further, there was never a public statement as to what happened on Dragons Den. We were not to say anything unitl the show aired or didn't air. The outcome was they did not want to invest in a company that was in its start up phase. It was disappointing and a costly experience. I learned much from the whole experience, especially how to analyze a business plan, which really comes in handy. It also forced me to look at tansi clothing and what could have changed the outcome, like more designs, then possibly it would have been different. A goal this year is to introduce in total five language groups but also bring forth 25 designs in 2010.

Best Regards,
