Pacific Northwest Coast Exhibition - British Museum
To continue the Native American Indian theme ... The British Museum, London currently has an exhibition about the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest Coast, showing until 27th August 2017. See www.britishmuseum.org
Here are a few images I took recently, concentrating on the weapons. |

I must say i find these NW Native daggers absolutely fascinating...and we have talked about them here on a number of occasions. Just search our archives for threads on "Tlingit".

Hi Colin:
Very nice examples of NW Pacific knives. It always amazes me how these Native Americans could work iron so precisely--the fullers in particular are well done. Thanks for posting these and adding to our Archives. Ian. |

A follow up from Colin's visit. Nice club and wooden amour with really fabulous Killer Whale helmet which must have looked spectacular when complete.

Always a pleasure viewing the cultural heritage of this region.
"Crossroads of Continents: Cultures of Siberia and Alaska" is a must for any one interested and cheap to buy too! Gavin |
