Two wolves at the dawn of time : Kingcome Inlet pictorgraphs, 1893-1998

Williams, Judith 1940- (author.).

Summary: "In 1998, Dzawada’enuxw artist Marianne Nicholson scaled a vertical rock face in Kingcome Inlet to paint a massive pictograph to mark the continued vitality of her ancestral village of Gwa’yi. Two Wolves at the Dawn of Time is the story of that painting, of earlier politically defiant rock art, and of "coppers," ceremonial shields that are a central motif in these images."--
