Director’s Message In part, this has been a year of introspection as we focused attention on compiling, analyzing and interpreting documentation and statistics spanning a decade of operations in preparation for the first external review of MOA in 10 years. Yet this did not slow the pace of public and academic activities; the year was full of memorable moments and impressive achievements.

For me, one of the most salient and humbling of the year’s events was the intimate ceremony marking the gift of regalia and other objects belonging to the late Mabel Stanley of Cape Mudge (1901–1979). The eloquent and powerful speeches by her descendants re-affirmed the strong bonds between MOA and First Nations families and communities that are vital to building meaningful relationships. The Museum has worked hard to increase and expand access to its First Nations exhibitions, collections, and programs. This year, our major, award-winning exhibition, Kesú: The Art and Life of Doug Cranmer, travelled to the Museum at Campbell River and the U’mista Cultural Centre. We also hosted Alan Michelson’s video installation TwoRow II from the National Gallery. At the downtown Satellite Gallery, Karen Duffek co-curated with Marcia Crosby the exhibition Projections: The Paintings of Henry Speck, Udzi’stalis, which attracted keen interest, while in the Multiversity Galleries, Pam Brown, with members of the Heiltsuk Nation, curated ’Mn.úkvs w’úw’áxˇdi – One Mind, One Heart, a community response to the Northern Gateway Project. Working with students, Jennifer Kramer presented Together Again: Nuxalk Faces of the Sky, a case installation which travelled to the Seattle Art Museum, while temporarily parked in MOA’s Great Hall was annie ross’s cedarbark-covered car, Forest One. Other First Nations initiatives included the First Peoples Festival, organized with the Vancouver School Board; the launch of the BC AudioDigitization and Preservation Program by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, the First Nations Technology Council and MOA, (developed to support the digitization of at-risk audio material in First Nations communities); and ongoing work on a new First Nations website, Voices of the Canoe, developed by Jill Baird and Damara Jacobs-Morris. A Canadian Conservation Institute workshop on wet-site basketry was held with participants from the Musqueam Indian Band, the Sto:lo Nation and the Neskanlith Indian Band; the Native Youth Program entered its 34th year with an impressive program of activities with elders, artists and activists; and for the 10th year, we co-hosted with the Dancers of Damelahamid, to sold-out audiences, the Coastal First Nations Dance Festival. Every department within MOA was involved in the planning and presentation of First Nations-related activities, often in close collaboration with communities and members. This, however, was only part of the year’s rich and diverse programs and activities. Other exhibitions included the stunning Visions of Enlightenment: Buddhist Art at MOA, guest-curated by Paula Swart and Margo Palmer. We also developed the equally alluring Pleased to Top left: Children in MOA’s Great Hall. Photo: MOA Public Programs. Bottom right: MOA Director Anthony Shelton. Photo: Varun Saran.

UBC Museum of Anthropology Annual Report 2012-13

Meet You: Introductions by Gwyn Hanssen Pigott, curated by Carol Mayer and Susan Jefferies. This was the last exhibition of Ms. Hanssen Pigott’s work before her sudden death in July 2013, and we are honoured to have had the opportunity to work with her. With the support of the Patronato Plata del Peru and Pan American Silver Corp., MOA developed Luminescence: The Silver of Peru, which travelled to the University of Toronto Art Centre and included over 80 nationally designated treasures, many of which had not previously been seen outside of Peru. Finally, MOA, together with the Safar/Voyage Volunteer Committee and guest curator Fereshteh Daftari, made major strides in preparing and planning for Safar/Voyage: Contemporary Works by Arab, Iranian and Turkish Artists, one of our most ambitious projects to date, which opened on April 20, 2013. In June, 2012, the Museum received a major grant of $495,000 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support Asian research and curation at MOA. One of the few Mellon Foundation grants given to an institution outside of the United States, the funding has enabled us to re-establish the Asian curatorial post previously occupied by Elizabeth L. Johnson, and to fund two, two-year curatorial fellowships. This year, we also began negotiations for support for a major, new programming initiative on Taiwanese tradition and modernity through the Taiwanese government’s Spotlight Taiwan program. We also thank the Michael O’Brian Family Foundation, which has made $800,000 of a $1M gift pledged in 2010 available to support new acquisitions from all parts of the world. MOA’s collections now number 40,000 works, half from Asia and Oceania, and half from North America (including the Pacific Northwest), South America, Europe and Africa. As one of Canada’s premiere museums focused on world arts and cultures, MOA takes seriously its responsibility to use the full range of its collections and expertise to undertake research and programming that highlight Canada’s complex diversity and global entanglements. I believe MOA’s exciting synthesis of exhibitions and research is working well: not only as indicated through visitor numbers, which rose by 12% during the last half of 2012-2013, but through the diversification of our audiences, increased private support, greater intellectual excitement around our exhibitions, and the dovetailing of our path with that of UBC’s, which continues to place greater emphasis on First Nations initiatives, internationalization and intercultural understanding.

Connecting Communities ...providing opportunities for learning and exchange Artist in Residence: This year, MOA hosted Haida/Kwakwaka’wakw artist Meghann O’Brien as an artist in residence. A weaver, she was introduced to Ravenstail weaving in 2009, and apprenticed under Sherri Dick and William White. She now lives in Prince Rupert, and is learning the ancient technique of spinning mountain-goat wool by hand for Chilkat weaving. During her residency, which was supported in part by MOA and a Canada Council grant, Meghann wove a Chilkat-Ravenstail robe entitled, “Property Woman’s Sky Blanket.” Later that year, Meghan participated in the International Festival of Extraordinary Textiles in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Caring for Collections for Communities and Families This year a personal collection of ceremonial regalia and other articles belonging to the late Aboriginal activist, Mabel Stanley (1901-79), was donated to the Museum by her descendants. The 24-piece collection included a cedar-bark head ring with eagle down, a carved frontlet with ermine headdress, a bird rattle carved by Ellen Neel, button blankets, a dance apron, and a speaker’s staff, among other items. The Stanley Family Collective presented the donation to MOA in a private ceremony on April 30, stating their wish to ensure public access to the regalia, and to help keep the memory of Mabel Stanley alive. A Kwakwaka’wakw chief’s daughter from Cape Mudge, Mrs. Stanley attended Coqualeetza residential school in Sardis, became mother to nine children, and worked throughout her life to promote understanding between Aboriginal and non-Native peoples.

2012 Native Youth Program This year, the Native Youth Program (NYP) focused on the theme of “Indigenous identity in an urban setting.” With funding from ACCESS and TD Bank Group, NYP students participated in a number of visual arts/multi-media projects with guest speakers including Musqueam Elder Larry Grant, Aboriginal fashion designer Sho Sho Esquiro, slam poet Zaccheus Jackson, filmmaker Kamala Todd, multi-media artist Peter Morin, graffiti artist Corey Bulpitt, Museum educator Damara Jacobs-Morris, and artist and political activist Ian Reid. Students in the Urban Native Youth Association’s Overly Creative Minds Program worked with NYP students on a book of poetry and photography entitled A Place Called Home. Aboriginal fashion designer Sho Sho Esquiro delivered a workshop on fashion design in which they developed outfits that included a hoodie, skirt, purse and shoes that were presented in a fashion show for the program. The UBC Faculty of Education invited the Native Youth Program to participate in a Social Science and Humanities Research Council sponsored study entitled “Citizens of Tomorrow: Investigating the Impact of Community Media Arts Practice on Marginalized Urban Youth.” As part of the SSHRC research study, Francine Cunningham, RRN/NYP Research Assistant, worked with the NYP students on a filming and photography project for one week. She also edited and uploaded a NYP VLOG (video-log) entry to the Native Youth Program website. Contacts made during this summer’s NYP will be used in developing the exhibition, Claiming Space: Voices of Urban Aboriginal Youth that will take place at MOA in 2014.

Caring for Cultural Objects ...serving our communities In 2012-2013, MOA accepted almost 2,000 new objects into its collections. The largest donation was the Erika and Alan R Sawyer Collection of Pre-Columbian Art, featuring approximately 1,000 objects from Peru. Other objects included a field collection of over 350 pieces of Portuguese folk art collected by MOA’s director Anthony Shelton; a painted spruce-root hat by Haida artists Isabel Rorick and Robert Davidson, given by an anonymous donor; and a monumental series of 20 drawings by BC artist Jack Shadbolt, entitled Coast Indian Suite, donated by the late Bertha Margaret Mathisen. Both the Shadbolt and the Rorick/Davidson works have been certified by the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board for their outstanding significance and national importance. Coast Indian Suite is being fully reframed by MOA conservation and will be permanently installed in MOA’s Michael Ames Theatre in fall 2013. Through the generous support of the Museums Assistance Program at Canadian Heritage, MOA was able to complete the first phase of an earthquake mitigation project in the museum’s 3D storage room. This phase involved installing doors onto the storage cabinetry and designing and producing customized earthquake bars that will hold the objects in position during a seismic event. This effort greatly improved the safety of over 20,000 objects stored in this space. In November the conservation lab hosted a Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) workshop on wet-site basketry. Participants in the workshop included representatives from the Sto:lo Nation, Musqueam Indian Band, Neskanlith Indian Band, as well as representatives from MOA, the UBC Laboratory of Archaeology, the Royal BC Museum, the Sooke Region Museum, as well as local archaeologists and conservators. The two-day workshop covered a variety of issues including in-situ recovery, transportation and cleaning. Research was also presented on the current options for waterlogged basketry stabilization and preservation.

Other ongoing operational activities included the registration and processing of approximately 1000 of the 2,000 new acquisitions; hosting 265 researchers and community members on 37 visits; rotating over 100 light sensitive objects in the Multiversity Galleries; organizing and installing 8 travelling and in-house exhibitions; processing 29 loans in and out of MOA, representing approximately 470 objects; undertaking conservation treatments; teaching collections management and conservation lectures and labs for the ANTH 431 Museum Studies class; and keeping the MOA CAT databases updated. Collections also hosted 4 senior-level interns this past year, one in collections management and three in conservation. MOA operational and design staff also worked

on a number of important upgrades to the Museum building. Through Canadian Heritage Cultural Spaces Program funding, MOA and UBC Secure Access were able to make important upgrades to the Museum’s security system. MOA also refitted half its lights with a new generation of LED bulbs. 1,360 new bulbs were purchased with half of the cost reimbursed by a Power Smart grant from BC Hydro. The new bulbs will not only have a longer life, but will generate enough electricity savings each year to power 15 homes.

Pushing Boundaries ...creating innovative and imaginative exhibits and programs

This year, MOA, its staff and volunteers organized four exhibitions at MOA, one exhibition at the Satellite Gallery, two artist installations, and two special case displays in the Multiversity Galleries; travelled two exhibition; organized over 46 public talks, performances, and special events; offered 24 curatorial tours; and gave 1,489 Volunteer Associate tours to the public, an average of 3 tours a day. This year, MOA staff and Volunteer Associates developed and offered for the first time daily tours of a temporary exhibition—Kesú: the Art and Life of Doug Cranmer—throughout the summer.

The year started with Kesú: The Art and Life of Doug Cranmer in the Audain Gallery. The exhibit travelled to the Museum in Campbell River in fall 2012 and a portion of the exhibition to the U’mista Cultural Centre in spring 2013. The exhibition was given a “Museums in Motion Award of Merit” in October, 2012 by the British Columbia Museums Association. The exhibition Visions of Enlightenment: Buddhist Art at MOA was the first exhibition of Buddhist art at MOA, and organized in conjunction with the Canadian Society for Asian Art, with the assistance of the Bank of Montreal and the Tung Lin Kok Yuen Canada Foundation. In the fall, MOA opened Luminescence: the Silver of Peru. The first exhibition curated at MOA by Museum Director Anthony Shelton, it was organized in conjunction with the Patronato Plata del Peru and funded by the Pan American Silver Corp. The exhibition featured a catalogue produced in English and Spanish, and was accompanied by talks on a wide range of topics related to Peruvian social, artistic and economic history. The exhibition travelled to the University of Toronto Art Centre in the spring. Pleased to Meet You: Introductions by Gwyn Hanssen

Pigott opened in the winter in the O’Brian Gallery. For this exhibition, world-renowned potter Gwyn Hanssen Pigott worked with MOA’s collections, creating new relationships between MOA objects and her own work. An exhibition catalogue was available by donation in the gallery. In the summer of 2012, MOA presented Projections:The Paintings of Henry Speck, Udzi’stalis at the Satellite Gallery. This was the first solo exhibition of his work at a public art gallery since his death over 40 years ago. This exhibition marked an important collaboration between independent curator Marcia Crosby and MOA curator Karen Duffek, with family members of Chief Speck in Alert Bay and other communities. Over 1,000 people visited the exhibition, a record for the Satellite Gallery. MOA also continued to offer a wide array of public programs. For the exhibition Visions of Enlightenment, Jill Baird, MOA’s Curator of Education and Public Programs worked with the Canadian Society for Asian Arts to bring noted speakers including world renowned Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman. For Luminescence: the Silver of Peru, Dr. Baird worked with members of UBC’s and SFU’s Latin American Studies Programs to develop programming, while Shop Manager Deborah Tibbel welcomed two Peruvian weavers to MOA for a four day residency that included demonstrations of weaving techniques. Other programming included the extremely successful Coastal First Nations Dance Festival co-produced with the Dancers of Damelahamid.

Inspiring Inquiry ...about the diversity of world cultures, arts, and ways of knowing

Audrey & Harry Hawthorn Library & Archives The Audrey and Harry Hawthorn Library and Archives (AHHLA) continued to support the research needs of the Museum, the broader University, as well as scholars and students from far and wide. New groups at UBC who accessed our resources this year included the Coordinated Arts Program, who received Library instruction in association with the Xwi7xwa Library, and enthusiastic undergraduate Theatre students accessed archival materials on performance for their coursework. Recent Library acquisitions include topics such as global art and cultural heritage, museology, and specific topics in material culture research. Highlights for recent acquisitions in the Archives include the Beverley Brown fonds which includes 478 photographs, many taken at the St. Michael’s Indian Residential School in Alert Bay, during the late 1930’s through 1945. Forty-five lantern slides which belonged to the Reverend Smith Stanley Osterhout, showing scenes from the central and northern Northwest Coast of British Columbia (and dating from 1893 to 1911), are another significant donation received this year. The AHHLA continues to take an active role in creat4

ing and managing digital media and this year added several thousand new images to the Collections Online site. Staff also developed a workflow to manage and preserve the growing collections of digital audio and video captured by Museum staff. These media collections document events, research and educational materials produced by MOA. The Oral History and Language Lab Coordinator also developed or supported media in exhibitions at MOA and for the Baskets for Barter exhibition at the Surrey Museum. The AHHLA staff initiated or participated in a number of exciting projects this year. The Archives worked with the Reciprocal Research Network (RRN), the UBC Laboratory of Archaeology and the Musqueam Indian Band to develop a new archival module for the RRN that will initially include access protocols for over 600 photographs taken in the Musqueam community. Staff also worked with the RRN developers to add videos to the RRN kiosks in the Multiversity Galleries. The department continued to facilitate oral history recordings for UBC departments and external agencies and communities. This year also saw the launch of the British Columbia Aboriginal Audio Digitization and Preservation Program. MOA, the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre at UBC, and the First Nations Technology Council have initiated this program to support the digitization of at-risk audio cassette recordings in First Nations communities. The Oral History Language Lab at MOA will provide training in audio digitization for successful applicants. This training program was piloted with the Heiltsuk Cultural & Education Centre this year. The department also took the lead in supporting a report by Ithaka S + R of New York that was funded by the Canadian Heritage Information Network. This report looks at MOA as a case study for digital sustainability in Canadian museums. This case study will be published in the fall of 2013.

Reciprocal Research Network The Reciprocal Research Network (RRN) continued to serve as an important research tool for those conducting research on Northwest Coast First Nations Art. The RRN now has 1,500 members and there were over 25,000 visitors to the site this year. A system for searching archival materials was developed and tested with material from both MOA and LOA. The addition of this material brings the total number of objects to over 430,000. The ability for RRN partner institutions to easily deploy RRN-powered kiosks and mobile applications into their gallery spaces was also added and tested at MOA. In the coming year, these kiosks will be deployed at Stó:lo¯ and Musqueam, as well as any other interested partners. The Laboratory of Archaeology (LOA) LOA shares space with the Museum and stores some 535,000 archaeological artifacts in LOA’s Collections Storage. As a partner in the Reciprocal Research Network, LOA’s database supports access to cultural heritage for communities through virtual research facilities. This year, LOA added more photographs and information about collections held in trust for BC First Nations to the database. In addition, specialists and students conducted analysis of archaeological materials in LOA’s suite of laboratories. LOA’s skilled technical personnel used the isotope ratio mass spectrometer, scanning electron microscope, and other instruments to assist First Nations and other groups by providing information about ancient people’s lifeways, diets and movements. The extensive collections of artifacts and comparative collections were used by Canadian and international researchers to add to understanding of ancient hunting, fishing, and plant-use practices.

Total Students Served

Developing and offering strong educational programs is critical to MOA’s teaching and outreach mandate. This year, 676 groups of elementary, secondary, post-secondary and ESL students—representing 14,411 people—attended an educational program or participated in a guided or selfguided tour at MOA. In addition MOA continued to develop new services for teachers and students. On April 23 and 24, 2012, MOA and the Vancouver Board of Education co-hosted a First Peoples Festival at MOA. The Festival was developed to honor the Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement that was signed in June 2009 by the Vancouver Board of Education, the BC Ministry of Education, Musqueam Indian Band, Métis Nation BC, and the Urban Aboriginal community. This agreement marks the school district’s commitment to enhancing Aboriginal students’ academic success in Vancouver schools from K-12. The Festival featured student workshops, activities and performances delivered by a range of Aboriginal artists and educators. Over 400 students and teachers attended this successful event which MOA hopes will become an ongoing part of its programming for schools.

Over 500 students attended the two day event which featured performances by the festival’s organizers, The Dancers of Damelahamid, an inter-generational, Aboriginal dance company. They performed Dancing Our Stories through which they share their Gitksan and Cree ancestries. This year students were also treated to a special performance by Nukarik, a throat-singing duo of Inuit sisters. MOA Curator of Education and Public Program Dr. Jill Baird, and museum educator Damara Jacobs-Morris completed interviews for the Voices of the Canoe website and worked with Josh Hite to edit a series of short films which are now integrated into the website. Educator Meredith Seymour was contracted to create lesson plans that complement the content of the website. The website will be launched on October 8, 2013.
