Also known by his ceremonial name Yakuglas, he was a prolific artist and activist during a period of severe oppression for First Nations people in Canada. Yakuglas' Legacy examines the life of Charlie James. During the early part of his career James created works primarily for ritual use within Kwakwaka'wakw society. However, in the 1920s, his art found a broader audience as he produced more miniatures and paintings. Through a balanced reading of the historical period and James? artistic production, Ronald W. Hawker argues that James' shift to contemporary art forms allowed the artist to make a critical statement about the vitality of Kwakwaka'wakw culture. Yakuglas' Legacy, aided by the inclusion of 123 colour illustrations, is at once a beautiful and poignant book about the impact of the Canadian project on Aboriginal people and their artistic response.--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Native American Studies$2bisacsh 607 $aBritish Columbia$2fast 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Native American Studies. 676 $a730.8997 700 $aHawker$b Ronald W., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$0981033 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155085403321 996 $aYakuglas' Legacy$92238950 997 $aUNINA
