Indigenous art/ART 103/First Nations
Canadian First Nations culture include many customs, languages, heritage settlements and sites, as well as ceremonial architecture and artifacts. While some Canadian students are exposed to European and other forms of art in their local schools, few have taken a close look at Canadian Aboriginal art, including First Nations art from nations such as Mohawk and Cree. Take some time to look at the interactive First Nations art work image depicting art objects that are on display at UBC's Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, Canada. This file has annotations. Move your mouse pointer over the image to see them.
