NW Native Art • The Full Course of Readings
Eight readings, eight guides, the Salish Sea entire. Free, sourced, and built to be walked alone.
This shelf holds a complete course in Coast Salish art and the life it comes from. How to see it, who made it and makes it, what was done to it, what is protected and why, and where it is going. Every reading is built from published scholarship, much of it by or with Coast Salish people, cited APA style the whole way through, and paired with a guide of key terms and questions worth sitting with. No login. No fee. No deadline.
Three ways to use this shelf. If you are in a live class, read before seminar and bring the guide’s questions with you. If you are working around a missed class, the guide’s thinking questions are your way back in. If you are fully self-guided, read in order or wander, and let the doors at the bottom of the page carry you onward when you are ready.
A word about this shelf. It was written alongside a sibling course in a Tlingit key, and students in Kaa Shaayí’s classes read both. Week by week the topics rhyme, and the seventh week deliberately does not.
