Class 3 Kwak “Our carvings and representations are not just art objects… they are alive, they teach, they reveal knowledge of the past…they explain our existence in the universe - who we are, where we originated, who our ancestors were and whom and what they encountered.” Daisy Sewid Smith, Kwakwaka’wakw Native Art of the NWC, p. 16 Interpreting the Cultural Symbols of the People from the Shore.

Chief Nakaṕankam, Mungo Martin, Raven and Whale, 1960. Watercolour on paper. RBCM14429 Chief Nakaṕankam, Mungo Martin, was born about 1881 in the Kwagu’ł village of Tsaxis (Fort Rupert) on the east coast of Vancouver Island. He was raised in the traditional culture of his people and was an expert carver and singer. In 1947, he was hired by the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver to restore and replicate totem poles in their collection. In 1952, when he was about 72 years old, he moved to Victoria on Vancouver Island to be Chief Carver on staff at the British Columbia Provincial Museum (now the Royal BC Museum), where he created more than two dozen poles and built Wawadiťła, a version of a traditional Kwakwaka’wakw bighouse, in Thunderbird Park. For the opening of Wawadiťła in 1953, Martin gave the first legal potlatch after the law against potlatching was dropped from the Indian Act in 1951. Wawadiťła continues to be used for First Nations events with the permission of Martin’s grandson. Poles carved by Mungo Martin at the Royal BC Museum are now in Athens, Mexico City, London and many other world cities. Martin died on August 16, 1962. Hundreds of people came to pay their respects when the Chief lay in state in Wawadiťła.

  • JACK DAVY Worked for the British and Horniman Museums Before
    DOI BIO: JACK DAVY worked for the British and Horniman museums before earning a PhD from University College London, where he studied miniature artifacts from the Northwest Coast of the United States and Canada. He is currently a senior research assistant at the University of East Anglia for Beyond the Spectacle: Native North American Presence in Britain, a three- year project funded by the United Kingdom Arts and Humanities Research Council. The “Idiot Sticks”: Kwakwaka’wakw Carving and Cultural Resistance in Commercial Art Production on the Northwest Coast Jack Davy Between 1884 and 1951 a ban on potlatching prohibited Indigenous communities of British Columbia from practicing traditional economic, ceremonial, and political activities, restricting them to state-sanctioned gatherings and celebrations. Unable to perform traditional dances and wear the associated regalia, Native artistic practices, in particular carving, began to fall into disuse as demand dried up. Restricted to only a few artistic forms permitted by local authorities, carvers turned to the growing tourist market, a field dominated by non- Native dealers but also disdained by government as inauthentic and thus, ostensibly non- threatening. Among art forms most popular with the Kwakwaka’wakw people of Vancouver Island and the corresponding British Columbia coast were model totem poles, which have often been overlooked as facile souvenir art and even sometimes derided as “idiot sticks.” In reality, however, drawing from both historical accounts and contemporary interviews with Kwakwaka’wakw carvers, this article demonstrates that these model totem poles were a subversive method of Indigenous defiance of Canadian authority. Carvers satirically enacted resistance through these model poles, not only mocking those who would presume to judge without knowledge, but in preserving information for future generations, could ensure the survival of traditional designs and techniques and register protest at their treatment by non-Native government and society.

Hutchinson GENERAL HARDWARE CONTEMPORARY 1520 Queen Street West, Toronto, M6R 1A4 www.generalhardware.ca Hours: Wed. - Sat., 12 - 6 pm email: [email protected] 416-821-3060 DaveandJenn (David Foy and Jennifer Saleik) have collaborated since 2004. Foy was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1982; Saleik in Velbert, Germany, in 1983. They graduated with distinction from the Alberta College of Art + Design in 2006, making their first appearance as DaveandJenn in the graduating exhibition. Experimenting with form and materials is an important aspect of their work, which includes painting, sculpture, installation, animation and digital video. Over the years they have developed a method of painting dense, rich worlds in between multiple layers of resin, slowly building up their final image in a manner that is reminiscent of celluloid animation, collage and Victorian shadow boxes. DaveandJenn are two times RBC Canadian Painting Competition finalists (2006, 2009), awarded the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta’s Biennial Emerging Artist Award (2010) and longlisted for the Sobey Art Award (2011). DaveandJenn’s work was included in the acclaimed “Oh Canada” exhibition curated by Denise Markonish at MASS MoCA – the largest survey of contemporary Canadian art ever produced outside of Canada. Their work can be found in both private and public collections throughout North America, including the Royal Bank of Canada, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, the Calgary Municipal Collection and the Art Gallery of Hamilton.

  • THE KWAKIUTL TOTEM POLE and ITS SYMBOLIC VALUE Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: (John A
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Marie Mauzefor the degree of Master of Arts Interdisciplinary Studies: in Anthropology, History, Education, Art presented on August 18, 1975 Title: THE KWAKIUTL TOTEM POLE AND ITS SYMBOLIC VALUE Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: (John A. Dunn) The antiquity of the Northwest Coast Indian pole is the subject of a great deal of controversy. A few viewpoints referring to that topic are given. The symbolic value of the Kwakiutl totem pole is examined with respect to art, style and culture; more generally "primitive" art is considered as being completely integrated with the major aspects of human existence. Theories concerning totemism are described here and totemism among the Kwakiutl is examined with re- spect to the social structure, mythology, the poles, and their inter- relationships.
