National Indigenous Peoples Day<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today is all about celebration! I want to introduce you to some indigenous artists, musicians, and Coast Salish art principles.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Coast Salish peoples are indigenous to the lower mainland of Vancouver and southern tip of Vancouver Island, B.C. extending to the northern Washington State in the U.S. Although there are many First Nation in B.C., 30+ years ago the Coast Salish were the least familiar to the general public and their art was almost completely unknown subject to early settlement by Europeans. Historically, the Coast Salish were one of the most numerous indigenous groups and their art was unique and powerful both in subject and form. Not only did they carve large-scale\u00a0<\/span>houseposts<\/span>\u00a0adorning their longhouses (which were mainly used for structural purposes to hold up the crossbeams for the roofs of the longhouses) but they also carved figures and delicate engravings that embellished ritual implements, utilitarian tools (e.g. spindle whorls) and personal ornaments including textiles and blankets that were considered items of wealth that were worn on ceremonial occasions. Today, the Coast Salish territory is the most heavily populated part of the province and their unique art form has again flourished.

Artist-Susan Point Art Title- Over Black Tusk\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SUSAN A. POINT – is a descendant of the Musqueam people; she is the daughter of Edna Grant and Anthony Point. Susan\u2019s distinct style has stimulated a movement in Coast Salish art. She draws inspiration from the stories of her ancestors and commences the use of non-traditional materials and techniques, therefore inspiring a whole new generation of artists. http:\/\/salishweave.com\/gallery_items\/over-black-tusk\/ Over Black Tusk- The Black Tusk is a mountain that is a part of the Garibaldi Range of the Coast Mountains, located just south of Whistler, BC. According to Coast Salish legends, the Black Tusk is said to be the Thunderbird\u2019s favorite perch. In my design, the Thunderbird is covering the tip of the mountain, as though the creature was connected to the\u00a0range .\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
