Object description

Serigrafin visar hur tranan släpper ut dimman. Den gamla mytologiska transan som enligt nuu-chah-nulth funnits sedan jordens begynnelse, har dimman instängd i en låda och ibland snubblar tranan på lådan, eftersom den är så gammal och har ledvärk. Får den då inte på locket i tid blir hela Vancouverön insvept i dimma. Tranan kan bli mutad eller får i uppdrag av andra mytologiska väsen att släppa ut dimman, allt enligt de gamla trosföreställningarna.

Originalet till "Crane Releasing the Fog", finns på en trumma som används i ceremoniella sammanhang hos nuu-chah-nulth./Johan Gurt.

11/140, Tim Paul.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
