EVICTION PROCESS Failure to pay rent – two written warnings on file can result in Housing following through with an eviction. Disturbing the Peace – three written complaints on file would result in a notice of eviction to the tenant. Damage to Premises – Damages can affect health and safety of people living in the home. They also add to the maintenance and upkeep of rental properties. Tenants shall receive one written warning requiring them to repair any damages cause by them, their pets or their guests. A second offense will result in the initiation of eviction proceedings. Failure to comply with Tenancy Agreement – Tenant of CMHC houses who refuse to sign the Tenancy Agreement each year will be evicted. TENANT ARREARS Tla-o-qui-aht Housing Department is in the process of getting the arrears taken care of. The impact of the rental arrears is affecting the capability of TFN to repair existing houses and to build new homes for the community. Housing arrears will not be tolerated. When a tenant is in arrears the mortgage payments that are missed come from other programs from within the TFN. Therefore, please be advised that effective immediately the Housing Department will begin the collection process with all tenants who owe money for housing. Failure to comply will result in an eviction and/or legal action for removal. Please contact the Housing Department to start making arrangements to begin payments in order to avoid eviction and/or legal action.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The Spirit Within Steven C
    INTRODUCTION: THE SPIRIT WITHIN STEVEN C. BROWN Native art from the Northwest Coast has been a part of the Seattle Art Museum for more than forty years. In addition to exhibitions from other institutions, in the early 1950s and 1960s a collection of nine pieces was assembled by the founding director, Dr. Richard E. Fuller. This group of representative objects from the northern coast was joined by small gifts of additional Northwest Coast art by Dr. Mary Bridge and others over the ensu ing years. The first traveling exh ibition of N_orthwest Coast art hosted by the museum took place in 1951- 52. Indian Art of the Northwest Coast, organized by Dr. Erna Gunther for the Taylor Museum, the Colorado Fine Arts Center, and the Seattle Art Museum, was one of the first exhibitions of Native art to be held in an art museum. A small catalogue was published under the same name. In the last two decades, the museum has been a venue for additional significant exhibitions of Northwest Coast art, including Objects of Bright Pride, curated by Allen Wardwell through the American Museum of Natural History, 1977; The Box of Daylight, 210 highly regarded pieces from Washington State private collections, curated by Bill Holm, 1983; and Chiefly Feasts: The Enduring Kwakiutl Potlatch, organized by Dr. Aldana Jonaitis and co-curated by Gloria Cranmer Webster for the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History, shown at the Seattle Art Museum in 1994. John H. Hauberg has been a major presence in the Seattle area Native art field since his collecting began in 1953.
