We had the best day yesterday! First I want to say "Thank you" Thank you to the Musqueam People- whose land the Museum of Anthropology is on, for the sharing with us and allowing us explore the museum and land.
Thank You to all the people who helped us have a great day. Thanks to the folks Tanya and Ted at NEC for allowing us to go on the Free tour at the Museum of Anthropology. Thanks to NEC for the lunch, my daughter was really grateful and happy. Food- she's a teenager. :D
Thank you to Pam for giving the tour. It was very informative and I really appreciate how much work goes into creating - curating something of this magnitude. It was truly beautiful and amazing.
It was very awe inspiring. I love that we can go online and research things more. I wish I had before I came. I will have to come again soon. It had been many many, possibly 20 years since my last visit. I won't let that happen again.
We loved the outside too. And so be sure to see the other post. I will be working on it after I post this one.
"Chilkat blankets were originally made by northern Tlingit people, and
traded down the coast to be worn on ceremonial occasions by Haida,
Tsimshian and Kwakwaka'wakw chiefs.
Chilkat robes were symbols of
wealth: to own them endowed a chief with great prestige. Even greater
prestige resulted from giving them away in potlatch.
This sea monster mask is called ’Yágis from the Under Sea Kingdom. I created ’Yágis for – One Mind, One Heart, an installation at the Museum of Anthropology to show my support in opposing the Enbridge Pipeline Project. He hunts down oil tankers and protects our territories and coast.

From the UBC MOA Exhibit
"Vancouver artist Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, of Coast Salish and Okanagan
descent, is showcased in this provocative exhibition of works that
confront the colonialist suppression of First Nations peoples and the
ongoing struggle for Indigenous rights to lands, resources, and
sovereignty." http://moa.ubc.ca/portfolio_page/lawrence-paul/
