CLAN DANCE
Materials: Cotton Fabric
In appreciation of, with gratitude for and inspired by the story-
telling art of the Indigenous Cultures of the Pacific Northwest
of North America, most notably the Tlingit and Haida
Tribes. Most often seen as wood carving, (such as Totem
Poles), this art also appears as painting on canvas or drums
as well as pieced quilts. The symbols tell stories representing
events, clan membership, kinship and family crests, similar to
our Memory Cloths.
