Happy to say we have an original Morrisseau coming to our collection on loan. Hope to have it on exhibit this fall - will be worth the visit. #museum #indigenousart #nativeart #PNIAI #artgallery

We were here today, in Lac La Biche, and let me tell you: this is astonishing. The largest collection of Indigenous art in Canada other than the holdings of the Federal government. Well worth a weekend trip from Calgary or Edmonton.

[Portage College Museum of Aboriginal Peoples' Art @PC_MOAPAA]

So exciting when we get new works! Students in Native Arts & Culture at #portagecollege take a course on care & collections so helped select the new works - working through the museum procurement and accessioning processes. Great experiential learning for them!

Thank you to The BearClaw Gallery for the donation of this original Daphne Odjig acrylic and ink from the early 1970s. We have a section on her Nanabush books and illustrations so this is a perfect addition!

We are fortunate to have Robert Davidson discuss this totem pole in an interview we did with him last year, it is a very moving and important story. #meetyourmuseum #MOAPAA #Haida #northwestcoast #artist #carver

[Terri-Lynn @Lalaxaaygans]

Recent documentaries tell about how this totem pole helped transmit cultural knowledge suppressed thru colonization. BC has approved O’Brien & Fuerst logging of the forest that supplied that tree. #Canpoli #bcpoli #HaidaGwaii #HaidaCulture #HaidaModern #NowIsTheTime
