Raven and First Men

Bill Reid's Raven and the First Men sculptureThe Museum of Anthropology at the U. of British Columbia hosts a great big sculpture from an artist named Bill Reid. Titled Raven and the First Men, it commemorates the Haida legend of the origin of the Haida civilization.

Bill Reid's Raven and the First Men sculptureThe presentation is pretty amazing. The sculpture sits in the “Rotunda” and dominates the space. It was so compelling, I took ten pictures. Then I bought a postcard with yet another picture, as well as a printed copy of the Haida legend to bring home. I have no idea what to do with them, now. (I guess I could store them with the sand dollars.)

You can preview the sculpture in situ at the MoA’s website, which provides a virtual tour of the grounds.
