Abstract:
"Shot on British Columbia's rugged northwest coast, [the series] delves into the roots of traditional Haida art and traces the genesis of today's generation of Haida carvers, singers, dancers, weavers and performers. Both series explore some of the wider historical and political issues of the repatriation of Haida artifacts, the vital potlatch ceremony once declared illegal by the Canadian government, and the fight to preserve old growth forests on Haida land. Created by Haida filmmaker Marianne Jones and Jeff Bear, [the series] approaches Haida art and culture from the Haida perspective" -- Container.
