註釋Huulthin (shawls) play an important role in Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations' oral histories, social organization, and ceremonial life. Drawing upon archival, material, museum, and ethnographic data, this research explores changes in huulthin as emblematic of broader social, economic, and spiritual transformations. Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations' huulthin do not exist in a vacuum--they are intimate possessions, collectively produced and displayed. Huulthin are a material iteration of deep histories, spiritual beliefs, social relationships, and trade networks. In the last 240 years, colonial encounters, capitalist economies (fueling rampant resource extraction and industrialization), settlement, and Canada's aggressive assimilationist agenda have brought dramatic change to the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Huulthin are a material, symbolic, spiritual, and embodied interface: between individuals and tribal communities, physical and spiritual worlds, knowledge and display, and perhaps most importantly, between history and a rapidly changing world.
