The Nature of Art and the Stle7esht Community.
Kirkpatrick, Mae
Canadian Journal of Native Education, v24 n1 p45-56 2000
The traditional culture of the Stle7esht tribe of British Columbia has no word for art, because everything is art. Years of Eurocentric boarding schools have threatened this culture. The New Zealand Maori model of working outside the formal school system through early childhood education can be adapted by the Stle7esht to foster cultural revitalization through language and art.
