Description
The magnificent collection of art made by the Kwakiutl Indians of northern Vancouver Island and the nearby mainland, assembled in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries for the American Museum of Natural History, lies at the heart of 'Chiefly Feasts.' More than one hundred objects from the American Museum and other collections are illustrated in full color, and extended captions incorporating information provided by many members of the Kwakiutl community describe their history and acquisition.
