This course will focus on cultures of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth people and the artistic production over more than 500 years. Our investigations will range from earliest known expressions of Nuu-Chah-Nulth cultures and follow innovations and change in the artwork up to present day.
We will examine first recorded contact with the Nuu-Chah-Nulth people by European explorers such as Captain James Cook, as well as the archaeological site of Ozette with material culture from the 16th century. Many of the leading Nuu-Chah-Nulth artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, such as Art Thompson, Joe David and Tim Paul, will also be studied in context.
