[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 9838402, member: 301"]Well.... we're a community here...so others can join in at will..... bt thanks for the kind words ! Seeing as how these are said to be circa 1960 , and back then there was little hew & cry over ripping off the 1st Nations , I'm content that the design is solid and may have had a native hand in the process. If not..... it was a time where NWC Indian art was reaching for past glory and a new audience , among Native & non Natives alike !! , and several prominent non native artists were leading the way , along with the likes of Bill Reid , and other 1st Nations artists. A well trained artist .... could have copied that pole design.....and tweaked it just a little. So yes...it's a co-opting of 1st Nations Art & Culture......... but in 1960...maybe it helped to showcase a people that were in decline ... but on the rise !! In my humble opinion....;):happy::happy:,:bear::bear::bear:[/QUOTE]
