My Introduction To Northwest Coast Native American Art

Written by Clint Leung


I had lived in Vancouver very briefly as a child and it was during that time when I was first exposed torepparttar art ofrepparttar 133950 Northwest Coast Native American Indians. It wasrepparttar 133951 towering colorful totem poles out in Stanley Park that everyone gazed at with wonder and appreciation. It took about 30 years later during a return trip to Vancouver when Northwest Coast Native American art caught my eyes again.

I was in Vancouver for business and landed atrepparttar 133952 city's new airport terminal. One could not help but noticerepparttar 133953 huge native carvings nearrepparttar 133954 arrivals area. Later on during my stay, I decided to wander around inrepparttar 133955 Gastown district. It was in these shops and galleries in Gastown where I fell in love with Northwest Coast Native American art. I saw many wonderful wooden plaques representing different animals. There were also art prints, paintings, masks, wooden bowls and even furnature with these animals either painted or carved right intorepparttar 133956 pieces.

The colors and designs, which might be considered a bit exaggerated to non-native eyes, were striking as well as bold. I knew at that time that I wanted to include some of this magnificent artwork on my walls back at home. So I bought two plaque carvings and carried them home like newly found treasure.

Historically,repparttar 133957 native Indians who lived alongrepparttar 133958 river valleys and coastal waters ofrepparttar 133959 Pacific Northwest were all hunters and gatherers. The region was blessed with abundant resources from bothrepparttar 133960 seas and forests. These people captured in their artworkrepparttar 133961 animals they hunted and observed. These included bears, killer whales, eagles, ravens, salmons, wolves, hummingbirds and even frogs. Chiefs and mythical characters important in their legends such as thunderbirds were also included as art subjects.
