Heritage database
|
One of the project's long-term goals was to increase the access to cultural heritage. Over 100 pieces that were chosen or considered for the exhibit are catalogued here.
Information is often fragmentary and is based on each museum's original records, augmented by our researchers' comments where possible. Unfortunately, most collectors and institutions did not record information about makers and originating communities. Where possible, we have done our best to associate these pieces with regions or cultural groups based on provenance and common styles. |

These are meant as useful clues for future research and not a clear label. It's important to remember that traditions mingled in families, diverse Indigenous communities had complex kinships systems, and regional art styles were widely dispersed as the Canadian government's colonial activity intensified in the late 1800s.
We hope that this index will inspire future artists and researchers to continue the work of reclaiming traditions and recovering the past. You can contact the museums involved to request access to their collections.
If you have any information on the pieces in this catalogue, please contact us.
