Only slight wear to the card covers ; A near-fine volume without creasing or soiling. ; Native Studies/Art; 10.8 X 9.0 X 0.5 inches; 160 pages; "Out of the Mist celebrates the art, culture and history of the Nuu-chah-nulth nations. It features the material culture, including many major art pieces of the richly complex societies along the west coast of Vancouver Island and the Olympic Peninsula. With the help of many Nuu-chah-nulth voices, Martha Black places the objects in context with the cultures and histories of the people who created them. HuupuKwanum and Tupaat are Nuu-chah-nulth words that designate everything a chief owns, including hereditary names and songs, objects, dances, rights and privileges, lands, and resources. These concepts introduce non-Indigenous people to the profound philosophical, spiritual and personal connections that these objects have always had within Nuu-chah-nulth communities."
