Summary

"This book features important works of historical and contemporary Nuu-chah-nulth art and culture shown in the Royal British Columbia Museum's travelling exhibition of the same name. But this book is more than an exhibit catalogue. With the help of many Nuuchah-nulth voices, Martha Black places the objects in context with the culture and history of these west-coast people, whose territories lie along the outer coast of Vancouver Island, Canada, and on the Olympic Peninsula, U.S.A." "HuupuK[superscript w]wanum and Tupaat are Nuu-chah-nulth words that designate everything a chief owns, including valued hereditary names and songs, objects and dances, rights and privileges, lands and resources. These Nuu-chah-nulth concepts introduce non-aboriginal people to the profound philosophical, spiritual and personal connections that these objects had - and continue to have - with Nuu-chah-nulth communities Book jacket."--Jacket.
