This beautiful collection of Kwakwaka’wakw art is at the Seattle Art Museum in Washington state. The display includes masks, a bowl, and two totem poles. Kwakwaka’wakw people live in British Columbia in western Canada. Their distinctive art may appear to be simplistic, but it often includes independent figures and motifs. The images tell stories and sometimes include funny elements.

Beautiful art! So detailed and majestic.
Thank so much, Rebecca! 😊
These are ever so wonderful Siobhan, the colours and detail is superb
Glad you liked them, Brian! I remember hearing many years ago that coastal tribes created a lot of art because food was easier to find. They had more time for leisure activities.
