- Abstract
- The Indian cultures that once flourished in the Pacific Northwest left a magnificent legacy. Now, a distinguished photographer has sought out British Columbia's native artists in their own places, met them informally and recorded their rediscovery of the old skills. In over 200 perceptive photographs, Ulli Steltzer has captured ninety-three dedicated men and women as they carve silver, wood and argillite; prepare wood for weaving and knitting; dig roots and gather grasses for their baskets. There are glimpses of their studios, their homes, the countryside; and their words, to, are recorded. -- From back cover

- Description
- An engraving print. The image contains buildings, forest, clouds, people and a totem pole. In the foreground a woman wrapped in a blanket is standing beside a totem pole that has an eagle head at the top. To the left, past the woman and totem pole, stands a group of four people, three men and a child. Behind them and trailing into the distance to the left are four wooden buildings. A figure is near the entrance of the first building. In the background behind the buildings is forest and tall trees and above the trees are clouds. At the bottom left corner of the image is a wooden boardwalk. The print is done in black ink on white paper, now aged slightly yellow. Under the print image in the bottom rhc is the artist’s signature “ WJ Phillips” written in pencil. At the very bottom of the paper in the lhc written in pencil is the title, “MAMALILICOOLA B.L.” Written in the centre is a measurement “6 x 6 3/8” and in bottom rhc “10 3/8 x 12 1/2”.
