Description

Native peoples' connection with the drum, dances and masks is deeply rooted. From ancient times, in their Big Houses (longhouses), Northwest Coast Native cultures have conducted ceremonies that included masks. And still today, during potlatches tribal crests are displayed to demonstrate reverence for ancestors, and to reinforce knowledge and understanding of the legends and who owns them. Masks continue to be used in ceremonies, potlatches, and even a Tlingit version of Shakespeare's Hamlet. This colouring book, in bringing awareness of these ancient traditions to children, is a celebration of masks of both past and present, and honours the lives and dances of the indigenous people of the Northwest Coast.

Author Biography:

Pamela Rae Huteson grew up surrounded by totem poles and longhouses, and listening to her elders recount Tlingit and Haida legends. Her fascination with Native history and traditions of Northwest Coast tribes led to her development as a writer of both poetry and prose, and participation in three Native dance groups: the Klawock Heenya Dancers, the Shinna-ku Dancers, and guest appearances with the Gaanax.adi clan during celebrations in Klawock, Alaska. Pamela is the author of Legends in Wood: Stories of the Totems (2002) and 8 entries in the Encyclopedia of Anthropology (2005).
