Outside the Museum of Anthropology

We really enjoyed wandering the grounds outside the museum. My daughter enjoyed the inside but as soon as we got outside and she went to the water she commented how lovely and calm it was out there. I saw her totally relax and really just blend into the environment. I imagined what things would have been like 200 , 200 or 20,000 years ago...how different life was then...what will our life be like in the future...I don't know but resting there yesterday with the totem poles and long houses it was really lovely and peaceful. I would like that life. Seeing the tools that were used for fishing and other things I am started to imagine how we can go back...we can be more harmonious...we can..
Here's the other blogpost I did. It's the inside of the museum, check them out after you look at the photos below if you haven't seen them already.

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.

Artist Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun-Unceded Territories

http://moa.ubc.ca/portfolio_page/lawrence-paul/

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.

Twenty years since his last major Canadian solo show, Unceded Territories will demonstrate the progression of Yuxweluptun’s artistry and ideas through hard-hitting, polemical, but also playful artworks that span his remarkable 30- year career, featuring a selection of brand-new works exhibited publicly for the first time.
