Summary:
"Out of Concealment presents the origin stories of the
Haida
Nation through the vibrant depiction of its female supernatural beings. Passed on from generation to generation through oral tradition, these stories are important historical narratives that illustrate the
Haida
's values,
customs
, rituals, and relationships with the earthly and metaphysical realms. This book features over thirty full-colour surreal photo collages by
Haida
artist, performer, and activist Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson. Each image is accompanied by insightful, reflective text describing the being's place in
Haida
mythology. Out of Concealment encourages readers to see the feminine in the powerful land and seascapes of
Haida
Gwaii, through a worldview where the environment is worthy of respect, not to be dominated or exploited."--From publisher.
