The haik beyond the its traditional dress function, was an act of Algerian national resistance
against French colonial policy.
He has left an indelible imprint of its historical function and intensity immortalized with the soul of the Algerian nation while reaffirming its identity and determination in the face of colonial oppression.

Haik it's a female garment worn in North Africa (Algeria) , a rectangular white cloth covering the whole body, long - six meters by 2.2 meters - rolled then held at the waist with a belt and then returned to the shoulders to be fixed by fibulae. It can be white or black.
In the past, the use of black was daily while white was reserved for family ceremonies, but the girls still favored the white to black worn by mature women.
