Photography, sculpture, woven work, folk art, painting, found art,
and more.When Terry Graff and Alan Syliboy decided to investigate
contemporary First Nations art in New Brunswick, they set out on a
road trip. They visited the Mi'kmaq Nation communities and

book, a journal that captured the essence of the road trip through
Graff's words and Syliboy's magnificent photographs.The book
captures their high-octane meeting with heavy metal musician Eric
Miller; Robert Pictou's model boats and surprising works of art;
their poignant visit with John Seca Labillois, who conjured a drum
from the trunk of a 600-year-old tree; Peter Augustine's collection
of antlers; the sacred site of the Sundance ceremony at Big Cove;
and the story of the Brooks family's efforts to repatriate the
200-year-old Grandfather Akwiten canoe. Ekpahak brings together a
