Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. "A magnificent journey alongside orcas, bringing these beautiful creatures to life." Jay Ritchlin, David Suzuki FoundationSpirits of the Coast brings together the work of marine biologists, Indigenous knowledge keepers, poets, artists, and storytellers, united by their enchantment with the orca. Long feared in settler cultures as "killer whales," and respected and honored by Indigenous cultures as friends, family, or benefactors, orcas are complex social beings with culture and language of their own. With contributors ranging from Briony Penn to David Suzuki, Gary Geddes and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, this collection brings together diverse voices, young and old, to explore the magic, myths, and ecology of orcas. A richly illustrated literary and visual journey through past and possibility, Spirits of the Coast illustrates how these enigmatic animals have shaped us as much as our actions have impacted them, and provokes the reader to imagine the shape of our shared future. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Yahgulanaas, Michael Nicoll (ilustrador).…

This travelling exhibition opened on July 3, 1999 and will commence an international tour in the year 2000. Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "This book features important works of historical and contemporary Nuu-chah-nulth art and culture shown in the Royal British Columbia Museum's travelling exhibition of the same name. But this book is more than an exhibit catalogue. With the help of many Nuuchah-nulth voices, Martha Black places the objects in context with the culture and history of these west-coast people, whose territories lie along the outer coast of Vancouver Island, Canada, and on the Olympic Peninsula, U.S.A. HuupuKwanum and Tupaat are Nuu-chah-nulth words that designate everything a chief owns, including valued hereditary names and songs, objects and dances, rights and privileges, lands and resources. These Nuu-chah-nulth concepts introduce non-aboriginal people to the profound philosophical, spiritual and personal connections that these objects had - and continue to have - with Nuu-chah-nulth communities." - Publisher.
