It was-Berthiaume’s ex-

‘tensive knowledge of North-_
". west art that sparked the idea.
Of creating the exhibition.

“St, all. started. ‘back ‘in

2004 \ when I was asked by

‘the « “Canadian High Com-

- mission to help identify the

pieces they had in their col-

lection,” explains Berthiau- -
me. “As we started to docu-:

ment each. piece, I realized
‘just what a significant body
of art they had and the im-

‘portance of the artists who

created them.”

# In the summer of 2005, .

‘Berthiaume ‘travelled

. ‘Australia to review the pice.

es firsthand and to view arti-
facts held at three other local

museums. In total, 77 pieces -

of historic and modern. na-
tive art from the northwest
coast: of Canada were as-
‘sembled to create the People
of the Cedar exhibit.

The exhibition is a cel-
‘ebration of the renewed ex-
pression of identity, both
