Inside the Collections: Pacific Northwest Coast Peoples
While highlights from the Museum's collection of artifacts from the Pacific Northwest Coast are on display in the Hall of Northwest Coast Indians, more than 13,000 objects are kept in storage in the Division of Anthropology.
Join Curator of North American Ethnology Peter Whitely as he leads a tour of the collections, which includes a giant Kwakwka'wakw whale mask, a Chilkat blanket with three different interpretations of its abstract symbolism, and a Haida/Tsimshian raven rattle.
Many of the artifacts in the Division of Anthropology's Pacific Northwest Coast Collection were amassed during a series of expeditions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The most scientifically important of these expeditions, the Jesup North Pacific Expedition led by anthropologist Franz Boas between 1897 and 1902, collected more than 4,000 objects.
Visitors can also find a number of whale-related artifacts from the Anthropology collections in the Museum's special exhibition, Whales: Giants of the Deep, now open through January 5, 2014. For more information, visit

Art Makes Us | Celebrating Artistic Achievement and Embracing Indigenous Art
Watch contemporary visual artist and author Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas discuss his hopes for the Vancouver Art Gallery’s new building.
CELEBRATING INDIGENOUS ART AT THE GALLERY
The Vancouver Art Gallery is situated on the traditional, ancestral and unceded Coast Salish territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh. We are exceedingly grateful for the opportunity to live and learn on this land.
Treasured works in the Gallery’s collection are by artists from this region, including powerful works by Indigenous artists. The strengthening of the Gallery’s collection of historical and contemporary Indigenous art has been an ongoing priority, recently benefiting from an exceptional donation of 36 objects from the Estate of George Gund III that features historical works by Haida, Heiltsuk, Kwakwaka’wakw artists, and more recent work by the renowned artists Robert Davidson and Bill Reid. Recent major acquisitions include works by BC artist Brian Jungen, Kwakwaka’wakw artist Beau Dick, and Musqueam artist Susan Point.
Beginning in 1941, exhibitions from the Gallery's history have contributed significantly to the development of Indigenous art history and discourse and have extended the artists’ reach geographically and into the future.
Exhibitions undertaken by the Gallery to reveal and celebrate Indigenous art began with “BC Coast Indian Art,” followed by “People of the Potlatch: Native Arts and Culture of the Pacific Northwest Coast” in 1956. Subsequent presentations have included “Arts of the Raven,” 1967, which showcased Indigenous objects as art rather than ethnographic material; “Raven Travelling: Two Centuries of Haida Art,” 2006; and “Beat Nation: Art, Hip Hop and Aboriginal Culture,” 2012—among many group shows that made distinctive space and claims for Indigenous artists. “Charles Edenshaw,” 2013, was the first major survey on this iconic Haida artist (ca. 1839-1920), and solo exhibitions have featured the brilliant contemporary work of Sonny Assu, Rebecca Belmore, Robert Davidson, Brian Jungen, Marianne Nicolson, Susan Point and others.
In 2017, the Gallery inaugurated the three-year rotating position of Senior Curatorial Fellow for Indigenous Art to research and develop exhibitions about Canadian Indigenous practices within an international context.
Now in its ninth decade as a significant contributor to the vibrant creative life of British Columbia and Canada, the Vancouver Art Gallery has embarked on a transformative campaign to build an innovative and inspiring new art museum that will greatly enhance the many ways in which citizens and visitors to the city can experience the amazing power of art.

Charles Edenshaw: Vancouver Art Gallery
Charles Edenshaw (1839-1920) was recognized in his time as an exceptional Haida artist and remains an iconic figure in Northwest Coast art. His work serves as a testament to a tremendous individual spirit and a singular talent. With over 200 pieces assembled from public and private collections from around the world, this first major survey of Edenshaw's work features the full range of objects that he produced and is organized around five central themes.
The exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery is from October 26, 2013 to February 2, 2014
