Eighteenth Century European explorers and merchants collected native masks as curiosities. Later in the early 19th century, dignitaries and bureaucrats took the masks to foreign museums for display or burned them as pagan ob- jects. Bui to First Nalions people, masks aren’t simply art. **Traditionally masks were made to tell a story,”’ Diesing said. Actors used masks in theatrical performances {o represent certain people and legends, They were used along with dance, music and poctry to reenact dramas, For this reason, native masks continue to raise issues of history, law, social relationships, inheritance, ownership tights and historical beliefs. Diesing’s mask, which she made in 1975, is made of birch, red cedar bark, human hair, abalone shell, buckskin, giass beads and paint. She learned to carve at K’san in Hazellon from teachers like Bill Holm, Tony Hunt and Robert Davidson. Diesing and Stilta’s masks will be on display at the Van- couver Art Gallery unlil October 12.
