“Haida art is recognized around the world for its monumental totem poles and sculptures; fine carving in wood, metal and slate; and weaving. Through countless generations, Haida artists have developed a system of design, which they apply to both sculptural forms and two-dimensional art. It is this system, including the treatment of line and the use of recurring design elements that distinguishes Haida art.” VirtualMuseum.ca

The Coast Salish style present at this time is characterized by the use of concentric circles and ovals, negative crescents (shaped like parentheses) and negative trigons (three-pointed convex triangles).

BCTF Task Force on First Nations Education

​:

​

​"​

Each child has a gift. Look for that gift, and nurture it. Strengthen the spirit of the child and help him/her to find balance and ways of being that are rooted in land, community, and culture. Help the child to succeed in education and career, as well as choice of lifestyle, grounded in language and culture. Provide an opportunity for the child to have a choice of how and where to live and work. What is success? The mandate of the task force was to make recommendations that contribute to the success of Aboriginal students. "What is success?" was a question widely discussed in the many meetings held by task force members.

​"Susan ​

Point's career has been one of not only rediscovering what had been lost, but also making her own contemporary contribution to Coast Salish culture.

​ ​

Ian Thom, the VAG's senior curator—historical and co-curator of the exhibition with Audain curator of B.C. art Grant Arnold, said that before Point, no one else was producing modern Coast Salish art.

​ ​

"This is a fundamentally important point in the history of modern Coast Salish art movement," he said referring to the print Salmon during a media preview Thursday.

​ ​

"Not only (is she) a great pioneer. She's doing work that in traditional First Nations culture is reserved for men, not women."
