Family Day in Whistler, BC

The SLCC is proud to host Chief Dan George – Actor and Activist, a touring exhibition created by MONOVA: Museum and Archives of North Vancouver. The exhibit explores the life and legacy of Tsleil-Waututh Chief Dan George (1899 – 1981), including his influence as a First Nations rights advocate and his career as an actor.

This exhibition sheds light on a lesser-explored facet of Northwest Coast art - women’s contributions to the rich tradition of carving wood and argillite. Featuring more than 125 works of art including poles, panels, masks, bowls, and other sculptures all intertwined with traditional knowledge, the works are on loan from public and private collections across North America. The exhibition focuses on a selection of carvers active from the 1950s to present, and showcases the works of influential artists like Ellen Neel and Freda Diesing, alongside the voices of senior, mid-career, and emerging artists.
