Artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas is internationally acclaimed for his “Haida Manga” style of illustration, which combines Pacifi c Northwest graphic elements with those of Asian manga. This exhibition celebrates the recent reissue of Yahgulanaas’ bookA Tale of Two Shamans, and features the artist’s illustrations along with text in the three main dialects of the Haida language as well as in English. The book is based on three different accounts of an ancient Haida story, recorded in the early 1900s.
