Renovations at MICC, cleanup and removal of debris from the upper evacation site, cemetary clearing, complete basketball court overhaul,and safety areas being tended to. Dock space, and inactive vessels have been a long standing issue at the community, and we are working with other local means to ensure the safety and accessibility of the community in general. Owners of inactive boats can expect that their vessels will be moved without notice. Several notices have been issued on the problem, and safety and evacuation of the community are the highest of priority. Materials left on the dock will also be removed without notice if these items are not removed ASAP. Materials left in public places are considered abandoned and will be taken out. The dock space is to remain “CLEAR” and accessible at all times. Due to the increasing problem of dumping, and environmental damage, we are also seeking out survellience in the public areas of the community. In the end the intention is for community, and environmental safety. We have a shared responsibility with all materials we own, if you have brought the item to your home, you are responsible for the safe and appropriate removal / recycling / or dumping of items you discard. Leaving broken, or unwanted items close-by to the bins is only removing your trash from your view, but it is adding to a community problem. Proper disposal of trash is the responsibility of each home and the individuals. Garbage is a huge cost to the Public Works department, and with cooperation in properly disposing your trash, we could have better and more improved services around YOUR community.

  • In the Spirit of the Ancestors: Contemporary Northwest Coast Art at the Burke Museum
    In the Spirit of the Ancestors: Contemporary Northwest Coast Art at the Burke Museum. Robin K. Wright and Kathryn Bunn-Marcuse, eds. Seattle: University of Washington Press. 150 pp.* Reviewed by Jay Miller In the Spirit of the Ancestors inaugurates a series from the Bill Holm Center Series titled “Native Art of the Pacific Northwest.” Its eight chapters bring together working artists and scholars from the entire Pacific coastline, assessing developments since the landmark “A Time of Gathering” exhibition and book that marked the 1989 centennial of Washington State as well as the 2006 exhibition with the same title as this book. It also profusely illustrates items from the Burke collection of 2,400 recent Northwest Coast art works. Shaun Peterson’s “Coast Salish Design: An Anticipated Southern Analysis” describes and illustrates with examples his struggles with mastering his ancestral art tradition, despite strong financial and regional pressures to make north coast formline style art, which is recognizable to non-specialist audiences and sells well. Learning from museum collections, older artists, and trial and error, Peterson realized Salish designs were defined by “cutout negative areas…to suggest movement” (14-15). His epiphany came with wing designs, whose key elements are crescents and wedges, not a dominant eye indicating joint mobility. Intended mostly for private and family use, Salish art was not public art, though many aspects of it have now become commercialized as savvy clientele grows within the United States and British Columbia triangle marked by the cities of Seattle, Vancouver, and Victoria. Margaret Blackman discusses the collection of 1,166 Northwest silkscreen prints that she and her husband assembled, which has been housed at the Burke Museum since 1998.

  • Winter Quarters by George Davidson This Work by American George Davidson Is One a Series of Paintings in the Museum Collections at the Oregon Historical Society
    Winter Quarters By George Davidson This work by American George Davidson is one a series of paintings in the museum collections at the Oregon Historical Society. Davidson produced the paintings in the mid 1790s upon his return to Boston from a fur trading voyage to the Northwest Coast (1790 - 1793). Davidson was a housepainter and occasional artist when he joined the second fur trade expedition of Captain Robert Gray in late September 1790. Gray’s Columbia Rediviva made the voyage from Boston to the Northwest Coast in eight months, arriving at Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island in early June 1791. The expedition passed the summer months trading with the various aboriginal groups up and down the coast. In September 1791, Gray established a “winter quarters” on Clayoquot Sound. He named the wintering site “Adventure Cove” and referred to their encampment as “Fort Defiance.” In the 1970s, historians and archeologists identified the fort’s original location on Meares’ Island. Davidson’s painting depicts the scene at Adventure Cove after the construction of the sloop Adventure, which first mate Robert Haswell would later use for trading along the west coast of Vancouver Island in the spring of 1792. The painting features the Columbia at anchor with her topmasts removed, as well as what appears to be a self-portrait of Davidson showing his illustration of the scene to Captain Gray. In contrast to the illustration Launch of the North West America from John Meares narrative of 1790 in which Native people are prominent, in Davidson’s painting the local indigenous people, the Tla-o-qui-at (Clayoquot), are notable for their absence.

  • Shoreline Indigenous Connections
    Shoreline Public Art presents Shoreline Indigenous Connections Shoreline Public Art recognizes and acknowledges the presence and ongoing contributions of the original residents of the land where we place artworks in public space. This area remains the home to many Salish indigenous communities from around the Salish Sea region, including the locally affiliated Duwamish, Suquamish, Snoqualmie, Tulalip, and many others who trace their ancestry through a variety of different tribal affiliations. Please join us in honoring these ancestral grounds by expressing gratitude for the people who have cared for this land across the generations and help us celebrate the resilience and strength that all indigenous communities continue to show throughout our region and beyond. Of the approximately 45 pieces of permanent public art in the outdoor collection in Shoreline, about half are owned by the City and half are owned by other entities; we celebrate the work of six in particular today that reflect the ongoing contribution of indigenous artists. This guide is meant to serve as a living document for future growth and additions; it will be displayed on the Public Art webpage and be available for download as a PDF as well as an on-demand guide accessible through QR codes posted in various parks and sites in the city. A final note: As a living document, this guide is a work in progress and will benefit from future corrections and revisions. We tried to identify Native artists by tribal affiliation, but it should be kept in mind that Native identity is a complex kaleidoscope that Euroamericans attempted to simplify and reduce.

By the late 1970's the Indian art market had become a several million dollar industry, involving several hundred native artists, and supported by a primarily non-Indian consumer public. This thesis examines the contemporary Northwest Coast Indian art market in terms of the role and significance of the art within its contemporary social context, focusing on the relationship between the consumers and the art they collect.

    TWO CLASSES OF TRAPPERS ROAMED ACROSS THE WILDERNESS OF NORTH AMERICA First and most numerous were the Canadian voyageurs these were mainly of French-Canadian descent -- many were Metis (mixed-blood) people voyageurs were almost amphibious by nature and training hardy, happy and amiable in disposition they glided over every harsh experiences with laughter and a song their quick sympathy and humane instincts resulted in a kinship with the Indians Second group was an entirely different class of men known as free trappers these were usually American by birth with Virginia and Kentucky being home for most patient and unrelenting during their annual trapping trips they were also given to wild debauchery and savage rioting they were bold, overbearing and indifferent to sympathy or company and they were harsh and cruel to the Indians there was always blood in their eye, thunder in their voice and a gun in their hands BRITISH GOVERNMENT RELAXES ITS SYSTEM OF FRENCH TRADING SUPERINTENDENTS British government placed trading superintendents in trading areas oversee operations of coureurs-de-bois (free traders) given privileges to trade in a specific region but, the “Superintendent system” of French overseers proved to be too expensive to administer instead, exclusive French trading privileges were abolished -- 1780 Into the vacuum left by the removal of the French fur monopolies rushed swarms of “free traders” principally Scotsmen from the Scottish Highlands who were contemptuously called “Peddlers” by the long-established Hudson’s Bay Company and
