Abstract
- Similar to 19th-century steamship travel, 21st-century cruise ships link far-flung communities for visitors to the Pacific Northwest Coast. Contemporary Indigenous artists, like their ancestors before them, have transformed touristic curiosity into economic, educational and cultural opportunities for their communities. Public art has become an increasingly important site for engaging visitors who have only a few hours to spend on shore. This paper compares two public art projects—Juneau, Alaska's Kootéeyaa Deiyí (Totem Pole Trail) and Vancouver, British Columbia's Blanketing the City—to explore the multivalent ways in which public art expresses Indigenous sovereignty.
