Friday, December 5th University of Washington Press AAA Booth #212 3:30pm –4:30pm Light snacks will be served  Winner, 2014 Melva J. Dwyer Award, Art Libraries Society of North America This work allows every contributor remarkable latitude, creativity, and individuality...it indeed questions many long-held assumptions in the field, and posits fresh notions on contemporaneity. It also works to suggest what might be appropriate, respectful, and well-informed means of appreciating, sharing, and studying ceremonial objects, and the Native Northwest cultures which imbued them with life. -- Michelle Paquette, ARLIS/NA Reviews, 2014 In unsettling the conventions that have shaped "the idea of Northwest Coast Native art," this book takes a central place in the lively, often heated, and now global, debates about what constitutes Native art and who should decide.
