The English names for certain places are listed in this glossary and occasionally mentioned elsewhere in the case study to orient readers more familiar with those names. Many of our interviewees use their Haida name, either exclusively or in addition to their English name, and we have endeavoured to use the order and spelling of names that our interviewees prefer. People’s names are listed once in the glossary and are not cross-referenced. In the case of individuals who use their English names predominantly, the given name precedes the surname.

  • Iljuwas Bill Reid
    ART CANADA INSTITUTE INSTITUT DE L’ART CANADIEN CATALYST FOR CHANGE ILJUWAS BILL REID Few twentieth-century artists have been catalysts for the reclamation of a culture. In the ACI’s new art book Iljuwas Bill Reid: Life & Work, the celebrated curator and scholar Gerald McMaster makes it clear that the iconic Northwest Coast creator was one of them. Bill Reid watching memorial pole being raised in the Haida Village, 1962 This year marks the centenary of the birth of Iljuwas Bill Reid (1920–1998), one of the most ground-breaking artists in the history of our country. Although Reid’s mother was Haida, he grew up knowing little about the culture because the Indian Act denied him his heritage. Yet, overcoming adversity, Reid went on to become a leader in Northwest Coast art. His influence was unprecedented and his name was publicly confirmed by the Haida community as Iljuwas (Princely One or Manly One). Today, the Art Canada Institute proudly publishes Iljuwas Bill Reid: Life & Work, which joins our open-access digital library of books on artists who have transformed the cultural landscape. Its author, the acclaimed curator and scholar Gerald McMaster, reveals how, during Reid’s fifty-year-long career, the artist innovatively adapted Haida worldviews to the times in which he lived, creating a body of work whose legacy is a complex story of power, resilience, and strength. To celebrate this important publication, here are ten topics drawn from it that explore how Reid lived the reality of colonialism yet tenaciously forged a practice that honoured Haida ways of seeing.
