A landmark publication bringing together more than seventy voices
illuminating the rich array of Indigenous art held by the McMichael
Canadian Art Collection. Under the editorial direction of
Anishinaabe artist and scholar Bonnie Devine, Early Days
gathers the insights of myriad Indigenous cultural stakeholders,
informing us on everything from goose hunting techniques, to the
history of Northwest Coast mask making, to the emergence of the
Woodland style of painting and printmaking, to the challenges of
art making in the Arctic, to the latest developments in
contemporary art by Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island.
Splendidly illustrated, Early Days not only tells the
story of a leading collection but traces the emergence and
increasing participation of many Indigenous artists in the
contemporary art world. This publication will be the largest in the
history of the McMichael, and represents a vital acknowledgment of
the place of Indigenous art and ways of knowing in global art
history. Featured contributors: Barry Ace, Leland
