The perfect family activity for when you are stuck inside over winter, family game night or for rainy days at the cottage.
‘namaxsala is inspired by a story told to the artist, Mary Anne Barkhouse, by her grandfather Fred Cook. In the story, her grandfather helps a wolf cross a treacherous piece of water in a boat, on the West coast of Canada. “My grandfather’s stories always offered an alternative view for considering the world around me,” the artist remembers. “And so, I relate one of them here, to help negotiate cooperation with the ‘other’ and inclusion of the wild.”
The photograph, taken by Michael J. Bainbridge captures Barkhouse’s installation, locked in a perpetual gaze with Parliament. In the image, we also see the flags on Parliament Hill at half mast in recognition of the unmarked graves across the country of residential school children that never came home.
This deceptively simple image evokes a shared fate and highlights our need for critical introspection as a country.
‘namaxala is a Kwakwala word meaning ‘to travel in a boat together’. The sculpture of 'namaxsala can be seen and admired in person at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec.
Mary Anne Barkhouse is an Indigenous artist belonging to the ‘Namgis band of the Kwakwaka’wakw First Nation of British Columbia. She currently resides in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario.
Reproduced in vivid wide-gamut colour, and mounted on genuine Eska board.

Welcome the little songbirds into your yard with the Log Cabin Birdhouse.
The slope of the roof and ventilation allow birds to keep out rain but maintains proper air flow and circulation. The Log Cabin Birdhouse has a hole that’s the right size for small songbirds but too small for their predators. The Log Cabin Birdhouse does not include a perch so birds can stay safe from predators, but it does come with a removable floor which allows for easy cleaning after your songbird family has left for the winter.
As each bird species has different bird nesting habitats, the Log Cabin Birdhouse comes with twine to hang in the optimal location and height to allow you to attract the nesting birds you desire. In addition to the above, it also includes a door, chimney and a laser engraved sign.
The Log Cabin Birdhouse also includes exterior non-toxic white glue for safe and convenient assembly. The Log Cabin Birdhouse makes an excellent gift for the bird enthusiast. Have fun with the whole family putting together the Log Cabin Birdhouse and be transported back in time as you build your cabin using the same authentic log construction methods as the early settler’s.
It also makes an excellent gift.
