Assessment

NotesA teaching resource built and published by the Kwakwaka'wakw-governed cultural centre at Alert Bay, British Columbia, whose own mandate is recovering and explaining seized ceremonial material. Reliable as the community's own account of its practice; no personal author or publication date is listed on the page itself.
