Tina Winterlik: Inside the Museum of Anthropology Summer 2016

We had the best day yesterday! First I want to say "Thank you"
Thank you to the Musqueam People- whose land the Museum of Anthropology is on, for the sharing with us and allowing us explore the museum and land.

Thank You to all the people who helped us have a great day. Thanks to the folks Tanya and Ted at NEC for allowing us to go on the Free tour at the Museum of Anthropology. Thanks to NEC for the lunch, my daughter was really grateful and happy. Food- she's a teenager. :D

Thank you to Pam for giving the tour. It was very informative and I really appreciate how much work goes into creating - curating something of this magnitude. It was truly beautiful and amazing.

It was very awe inspiring. I love that we can go online and research things more. I wish I had before I came. I will have to come again soon. It had been many many, possibly 20 years since my last visit. I won't let that happen again.

We loved the outside too. And so be sure to see the other post. I will be working on it after I post this one.

Thanks again everyone.

Chilkat robes were symbols of wealth: to own them endowed a chief with great prestige. Even greater prestige resulted from giving them away in potlatch.

If there was no chief attending of high enough rank to receive it, the blanket might be cut into strips and distributed to a number of persons of prestige. These strips would be made into other ceremonial" Read more here http://collection-online.moa.ubc.ca/collection-online/search/item?keywords=chilkat+blanket&row=3&tab=more
