Tales of Ghosts - First Nations Art in British Columbia, 1922-61 (Paperback, illustrated edition)

Ronald Hawker's examination focuses on the complex functions of Northwest Coast objects, such as the ubiquitous totem pole and ceremonial masks, produced between 1922 and 1961. He demonstrates how these objects asserted the integrity and meaningfulness of First Nations' identities, whilst simultaneously resisting the intent and effects of assimilation enforced by the Canadian governments denial of land claims; its ban of the potlatch; and its support of assimilationist education. This title should be of interest to those with an interest in First Nations and Canadian History; art history; anthropology; museology; and postcolonial studies.
