Peripheral Visions - Salish Footprint

2006

Musqueam, Canadian, born 1951

Using traditional Salish elements and forms, Point emphasizes the Salish connection to the land and the footprints the Salish people leave in their currently occupied traditional territories. Depicting the different figures that hold importance in the region—whales, salmon, humans, eagles, and more—this piece serves as an important reminder of the tangible and intangible histories and cultures that reside here, yesterday, today, and always.
