- Notice biographique
- First Nations artist Agnes Alfred was a member of the Namalilakula Tribe of the Kwakwaka'wakw. A respected elder in her community, she was also renowned for her hand-woven cedar baskets. In 1922, Alfred was imprisoned by the Canadian government for participating in a potlatch ritual, which was outlawed at the time. Alfred was keen on passing on her knowledge of her people's way of life and, in 2004, her memoirs were published under the title "Paddling to Where I Stand: Agnes Alfred, Qwiqwasutinuxw Noblewoman."
