Abstract

The article focuses on two significant works that explore Indigenous art and cultural representation in the Pacific Northwest. Robin K. Wright's book, *Skidegate House Models: From Haida Gwaii to the Chicago World’s Fair and Beyond*, examines the historical and cultural significance of a miniature model village created by Haida artists for the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, highlighting its role in cultural resistance and the preservation of Haida heritage. Additionally, the exhibition *Curve! Women Carvers on the Northwest Coast*, curated by Dana Claxton and Curtis Collins, showcases the contributions of women carvers from various Indigenous backgrounds, emphasizing the importance of their work across generations. Both works aim to challenge colonial narratives and celebrate Indigenous cultural continuity. [Extracted from the article]
