The Nuu-chah-nulth celebration!

Finally, an exhibition catalogue featuring the dynamic work of Nuu-chah-nulth artists! This fabulous catalogue brings together contemporary and historical pieces in a thoroughly modern way. Contemporary art, such as the outstanding work of Tim Paul, is beautifully illustrated and accompanied with the artist's own interpretations. The works are continually connected with their people and history, as illustrated by the current photograph of Earl Maquinna George, Ahousaht and other first-ranking hereditary chiefs.
