The great Haida works of art had long since disappeared from the community after years of cultural oppression imposed by Canadian laws under the Indian Act. The law—which was first passed in 1876 and, with numerous amendments, is still in effect today—sought to banish the ceremonies, songs, dances, and material culture of Indigenous people. Many of the old masterpieces wound up in museums, far away from home. Since the raising of that totem pole, Robert has established himself as a leading figure in the renaissance of Haida art and culture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, Robert is prized as one of the greatest Northwest Coast master artists of our time. Over a number of years, he imparted his wisdom about art and life in the form of short messages which Sealaska Heritage Institute shared on social media, where they resonated deeply with its followers. Through this book, we share his insights, his art, and his knowledge with you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"t m0 x6 h4 yf ff2 fs2 fc0 sc0 ls0 ws0\"\u003eSealaska Heritage Institute’\u003cspan class=\"_ _0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003es \u003cspan class=\"ff1\"\u003eBox of Knowledge Series \u003c\/span\u003econsists of essays, reports, and books that the institute considers should be made available as a contribution to studies on Tlingit, Haida, and T\u003cspan class=\"_ _0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003esimshian cultures, history, and languages.
