THE CORE OF THIS ASSEMBLAGE of powerful work is an exploration of the extraordinary achievement of Haida art, as art. Interwoven throughout the text and finely reproduced images is a skillful intermingling of key themes: the defining myths of origins; the structures of ownership and privilege; the relationship of the people to the land; the influence of the early master-carvers; the monumental achievements of Charles Edenshaw, Bill Reid, Robert Davidson and many others; the Haida and colonialism; hybrid tendencies in contemporary Haida art. From oral histories and genealogies to the breakout aesthetics of contemporary Haida work in many media, this is a book that will resituate a great art in a contemporary context.
