Publisher's Synopsis
Well before her encounter with the famous Group of Seven, Emily Carr (Canadian, 18711945) had found her artistic direction. After years spent studying painting in San Francisco, London, and Paris, she returned in 1912 to her home, British Columbia, and embarked on an ambitious project. She would record the twilight of the coastal First Nations peoples, communities that had nearly vanished as smallpox and flight to urban centers reduced the native population all along the northern Pacific coast.
