In 'Voices', the Mowachaht-Muchalaht and Huu-ay-aht nations recount their own histories, and describe who and where they are today. 'Histories' offers fascinating accounts of recent history from outside the Nuu-chah-nulth culture and ancient histories and legends from inside. 'Objects' highlights the different interests of those who create objects and those who collect them: are these objects art? Finally, 'Journeys' relates the personal and spiritual growth of three Nuu-chah-nulth artists, and how their creations speak about where they came from and where they are now.
Nuu-chah-nulth Voices, Histories, Objects and Journeys is an important contribution to the understanding of a rich and complex society, and essential reading for anyone interested in Northwest Coast art and culture.
