IN EACH VILLAGE WERE GREAT HOUSES SOME SEVENTY FEET BY FIFTY FEET OF CLEAR ROOF SPAN, WITH GRACEFULLY FLUTED POSTS AND BEAMS, IN THE HOUSES THERE WAS WEALTH — NOT GOLD OR PRECIOUS STONES — BUT TREASURES THAT ONLY GREAT TRADITIONS, TALENT, AND SOMETIMES GENIUS, WITH UNLIMITED TIME AND DEVOTION, CAN CREATE…THE PEOPLE OF THE NORTHWEST COAST WERE RICH. THEIR SEA EVEN RICHER; THEY WERE ENORMOUSLY ENERGETIC, AND THEY CENTERED THEIR SOCIETY AROUND WHAT WAS TO THEM THE ESSENCE OF LIFE: WHAT WE NOW CALL “ART”.
—Out of the Silence by Adelaide de Menil and William Reid
