• Tsimshian weaver William White from Lax Kw’alaams has been publicly weaving a child- size Chilkat robe this summer as part of a “living” exhibition entitled My Ancestors are Still Dancing. In July, the artist set up his loom and pattern board in Gallery 8, alongside a display of his own weavings, some historical weavings from MOA’s collection, and historical and contemporary photographs of people wearing Chilkat regalia. This September, the completed weaving will be lifted from the loom in a small private ceremony.
• MOA created a website to document the weaver’s progress, and to explore the significance of the Chilkat tradition: http://www.moa.ubc.ca/williamwhite/WhiteIntro.html.

• One Mind, One Heart is the response of the Heiltsuk Nation to the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline and to oil tanker traffic in their territories. The exhibit features the ancestral guardian ’Yágis swallowing an oil tanker trespassing in Heiltsuk waters. ’Yágis, the mask was created by ’Nusí, Heiltsuk artist and embodies the ancient teachings of the Heiltsuk to protect their land and seas against such perils as pipelines and oil tanker traffic in their waters. It also includes an iPad kiosk featuring films, photos of Heiltsuk territory, and community members protesting during the Joint Review Panel’s visit to Bella Bella. About the piece ’Nusí comments: “I created ’Yágis for One Mind, One Heart, an installation at the Museum of Anthropology to show my support in opposing the Enbridge Pipeline Project. He hunts down oil tankers and protects our territories and coast.”
• The installation was curated by Pam Brown, MOA curator in collaboration with the Heiltsuk Nation and ’Nusí, Ian Reid, Heiltsuk artist and activist.
