Miniatures - canoes, houses and totems, and human figurines - have
been produced on the Northwest Coast since at least the sixteenth
century. What has motivated Indigenous artists to produce these
tiny artworks? Through case studies and conversations with artists
themselves, So Much More Than Art convincingly dismisses the
persistent understanding that miniatures are simply children's toys
or tourist trinkets. Jack Davy's highly original exploration of
this intricate pursuit demonstrates the importance of
miniaturization as a technique for communicating complex cultural
ideas between generations and communities, as well as across the
divide that separates Indigenous and settler societies.
