Early DaysEarly Days

Published on the occasion of the exhibition Early Days: Indigenous Art from the McMichael, this collection gathers the insights of myriad Indigenous cultural stakeholders, informing us on everything from goose hunting techniques, to the history of Northwest Coast mask making, to the emergence of the Woodland style of painting and printmaking, to the challenges of art making in the Arctic, to the latest developments in contemporary art by Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island. This book also traces the emergence and increasing participation of many Indigenous artists in the contemporary art world.
