| Summary: | Lottie Muldow mixing yal, which means ""soapberries turned around and around"". This creamy mixture is also known to many by the name Indian ice-cream. Gertie Morrison is standing by with the spoons. These scenes of resource and food gathering were initiated in order to fill some of the gaps left by earlier anthropologist and cultural observers among the Gitxsan. The objective was to create colour images of practices that were partially captured in earlier black and white photographs and in early texts such as those written by Marius Barbeau and William Beynon. The Book Builders of 'Ksan also produced a volume on these collecting and processing practices titled Gathering what the Great Nature provided: food traditions of the Gitksan, by the people of 'Ksan. |
