Enjoy free museum admission (starting at 6 pm) for the opening night of Nuxalk Strong: Dancing Down the Eyelashes of the Sun. The exhibition, co-curated by Snxakila–Clyde Tallio (Nuxalk Nation, Director of Culture and Language) and Jennifer Kramer (MOA Curator, Pacific Northwest), is an important assertion of the Nuxalk people today of their ongoing self-determination and sovereignty, by honouring the teachings of their Ancestors and laying the path for putl’lt—those not yet born. Nuxalk Strong brings together over 60 Nuxalk historic treasures drawn from the MOA collections, other museums, private and family collections. The display of these belongings expresses the importance of Nuxalk reconnection with their material heritage, made by the hands of their Ancestors.
