Images: Stone: B.C.
a truly co-operative venture which involved scholars and museum officials in Canada, the United States and France. With research came the excitement of discovery; a zoomorphic bowl, a figure or a finely carved club not previously published and hence almost totally unknown to the world at large. Choosing these singular images and taking them from their attic anonymity, bringing them together for the first time and releasing them into a creative gallery setting is to give the eye, the mind and the soul a deep new experience of Indian splendor in stone.

The name Tlingit means people. The culture flows from the incredible diversity and abundance of the surrounding seas, it's fish, whales, and sea life, clam beds, the wealth of the spawning salon that feed the bears, eagles and nutrify the dense coniferious forests. The richness of this land provided the Tlingit the opportunity to devote an extraordinary amount of time to art and trading up and down the Coast.

Cedar
Every part of the cedar had a use. The versatile inner bark they wove into intricately patterned mats and baskets, plied into rope and processed to make the soft, warm, yet water-repellent clothing so well suited to the raincoast. Tough but flexible withes made lashing and heavy-duty rope. The roots they wove into watertight baskets embellished with strong designs.
For all these gifts, the Northwest Coast peoples held the cedar and its spirit in high regard, believing deeply in its healing and spiritual powers. Respectfully, they addressed the cedar as Long Life Maker, Life Giver and Healing Woman.

With attention to clarity and detail, Hilary Stewart illustrates their hooks, lines, sinkers, lures, floats, clubs, spears, harpoons, nets, traps, rakes and gaffs, showing how these were made and used in over 450 drawings and 75 photographs.
