Bella Bella : a season of Heiltsuk art

Black, Martha (author.).

Summary: "The Heiltsuk Nation lies at the center of the Northwest Coast over 6,000 square miles of islands, inlets, lakes, mainland, and outer coasts of what is now referred to as the central coast of British Columbia. In this geographically diverse area, the Heiltsuk developed a complex culture in which ceremonialists, canoe makers, and artists were greatly influential. This seminal work focuses on Canada's premier collection of Heiltsuk art, The R.W. Large Collection in the Royal Ontario Museum, illuminating the collection's early 20th-century origins and discussing the creators of the art, the circumstances of collection, and each piece in detail. Features color and b&w photos of objects and people." -- Amazon.ca.
