Webbing- Sometimes you get a snag!

Today I got a response back from one of the museums that I contacted. Unfortunately, they are not displaying Haida Work anymore. On the positive side, I found the Museum of Anthopology in Vancouver, B.C. Canada and it has art work etc. to review.

Here is the email correspondance with Grouse Mountain, North Vancouver, Canada.

Subject: Haida Information
Dear Sir/Madam,
I write to inquire about your museum at Grouse Mountain. I used to be a teacher in North Vancouver in the 90's. We came and watched a program display of Haida Life and Art work etc. Does that still exist? Is there anything virtually that I could connect to. I am alos looking to talk to a Haida Elder about life and art.
Currently, I am working on a project about Haida Indians here in Indiana. Any information you could give me will be helpful.
Thank you for your time and concern,

Dear Lorraine,
Thank you for your email. Grouse Mountain does not currently have information regarding the Haida; our Feasthouse and presenters are from the Coast Salish Nation.
If you have further questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Leilani

As I am finding webbing is meaningful but not always fruitful. I am determined to find more information. I believe that Museums are important to this project. They have research that is reliable and images that are accurate. Additionally, they have been involved with education for many years.

Have a good day, Lorraine
