UNIQUE: This book looks at indigenous institutions all across British Columbia -- organizations like 'Ksan Historical Village and Museum (Hazelton), U'mista Cultural Centre (Alert Bay), Stó:lo Resource Centre (Chilliwack), the Bill Reid Gallery (Vancouver), Squamish Líl̓wat Cultural Centre as well as major arts institutions such as the Royal British Columbia Museum and the Vancouver Art Gallery.BROAD SURVEY: The project explores the different cultures, languages and cultural practices of a diverse indigenous population, examining the commonalities and variations between the peoples of each area.STUNNING IMAGES: As befitting a book in the Museum of Anthropology series, this is a large-format, beautifully illustrated volume that will show the reader many cultural treasures that most Canadians will never have the chance to see in person. EXAMINATION OF COLONIALISM: The very existence of many of these organizations is part of the process whereby the indigenous peoples of the province are reclaiming their heritage and telling their own stories the way they should be told. In that regard, this book is a part of the recovery from colonial dominance of these peoples.
