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.

The written component of this project also provides information about the history and evolution of totem poles; shares in-depth research on cultural appropriation defining and conceptualizing it with regard to native artwork; and discusses how native and non-native artists have responded to the introduction of totem poles in Seattle. In an increasingly globalized world, understanding the culture and traditions of different minorities and analyzing how those cultures are presented in the media is extremely important.

  • Re-Pressed: How Serigraphy Re-Envisions Northwest Coast Iconography*
    RE-PRESSED: HOW SERIGRAPHY RE-ENVISIONS NORTHWEST COAST ICONOGRAPHY* India Young, University of New Mexico Abstract In 1986 Andy Warhol silkscreened a series of cowboys and Indians. In 1978 Roy Henry Vickers, a Tsimshian artist, silkscreened Jesus as well as a lacrosse player. Since the time of the Campbell’s Soup Can (1962), Northwest Coast Indigenous artists have been silkscreening fine art in their own vernacular. They have used the medium to reclaim heritage, to share histories, to educate, and to demand Western recognition through visuality. Today, as Western serigraphy has receded back to the commercial medium it was before Pop art, Indigenous artists continue to envision the possibilities serigraphy provides to challenge the art world and popular perceptions of Indigenous cultures. In this paper I reveal the modes of discourse opened through Indigenous people’s use of serigraphy. Since its inception into Northwest Coast culture, the serigraph has been used to tell the story of Northwest Coast tradition and progress: politically, economically, artistically and culturally. * I greatly appreciate Dr. Victoria Wyatt’s support and guidance and Joe David’s insight and generosity.

  • 1 History Background Chinook Jargon Is a Native American Pidgin Language Spoken in the Pacic Northwest
    1 History Background Chinook Jargon is a Native American pidgin language spoken in the Pacic Northwest. The story of Chinook Jargon is the story of Native American cul- ture and Pacic Northwest history. In the 1800s there were over one hundred different languages spoken in the Pacic Northwest. It was one of the most diverse linguistic areas in the world. Chinook Jargon, often known simply as Chinook by speakers, was used among Native Americans, and between early settlers and Native Americans, as a way of bridging the communication gap created by this diversity. Chinook Jargon deeply reects the oral tradition and culture of that time and place. Edward Thomas and Rena Grant, historians who wrote about Chinook Jargon during the 1930s and 40s, stated that one hundred thousand people spoke Chinook Jargon in 1875. Speakers ranged from Northern California to Southern Alaska, and from the Pacic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains. Chi- nook Jargon was still used in northern British Columbia in the 1970s during church services. Over a century later, in 1990, perhaps a hundred individuals, scattered across the region, spoke it. Today however, the situation is chang- ing. Not only are individuals interested in preserving the language, but The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon is reviving the language. They have a language immersion program for preschoolers, and use the language on signage and at public events. Chinook Jargon is different from the “Old Chinook” language spoken by the Chinook people who lived near the mouth of the Columbia River. Old Chinook is complex. It is difcult for non-Natives to learn because its con- jugations and syntax are very different from those of European languages.
