Mamook Chantie is a term in Chinook (trading jargon developed throughout the
Northwest Coast) meaning to sing. Every coastal nation celebrates with song
and dance. There is a great diversity and depth of songs and music
throughout the region, as this musical tradition has developed over
thousands of years.

Through Mamook Chantie you will experience and celebrate the singing
traditions of four different Northwest Coast nations: Salish, Kwakwakw'akw,
Tsimshian and Haida. Each singer will share canoe travel songs, welcome
songs, traded songs from other nations, and their meanings.



This public program is presented as a part of the Gallery's featured
exhibition. Bill Reid and the Haida Canoe conveys the pivotal role of the
canoe in the Northwest Coast art, cultures and communities, through photos
by Phil Hersee and Robert Semeniuk, and sketches by Bill Reid.

The exhibition runs through January 8, 2012.
