Description | Coast Salish / Nuu-chah-nulth Nations Born in 1995, Joshua Watts was raised in Squamish, British Columbia. While he is both Nuu-chah-nulth and Coast Salish, he had little connection to his culture growing up. In his youth, he was frequently taking part in canoe races, and it was then Joshua developed a passion for carving. At the age of eighteen, Joshua began an apprenticeship with Salish artist Ray Natraoro. Under his guidance, he learned how to build canoes and then artistic sculptures such as totem poles and masks. It was during this apprenticeship that Joshua truly began participating in Salish culture and learning the traditions and teachings of his ancestors, which have had a significant influence on his lifestyle choices. Today, Joshua always acknowledges his Indigenous roots foremost, understanding the importance of his cultural lineage. Since reconnecting with his heritage, Joshua has become a strong advocate for cultural revitalization amongst Indigenous youth, dedicating much of his practice towards youth development and mentorship programs. He is currently focused on leading research towards cultural revitalization, facilitating land-based learning initiatives, and uniting First Nations communities through art and culture. He is also continually discovering the beauty of his ancestry through the art of his people. Joshua Watts is a recent two-time recipient of the YVR Art Foundation’s Emerging Artist Award. He has also received their Frank O’Neill Award in recognition of his ongoing contributions to cultural revitalization in First Nations communities. In just a few short years, Joshua has firmly established himself as an influential artist and cultural leader with a bright future. |

Joe Wilson has created this limited-edition print series illustrating the traditional Coast Salish whorl in which both the male and female Killerwhale are represented in balance and harmony with one another.
The ‘Journey of Hope’ was designed specifically for the survivors of the tsunami in Japan in 2011 to pay tribute to their survival instincts as well as their future hopes and dreams.
The Killerwhale is an important crest symbol, associated with power, strength, dignity and communication.
The Killerwhale is thought to be the reincarnation of great chiefs so they are the majestic protectors of mankind. Many believed that those lost at sea were carried away by the Orca to their villages deep within the ocean and they would be guided to a new life and a new beginning.
Killerwhale Clans live in Killerwhale Villages deep within the ocean; when at home they remove their skins and live as large humans. Mating once for life and thought to be the reincarnation of great chiefs, these majestic animals are the protectors of mankind. While known to capsize canoes and carry the inhabitants to their Killerwhale Village, they are also reputed to act as guides to humans caught within storms.

“As a contemporary Northwest Coast artist, the de-contextualization of Northwest Coast art is of great interest to me. By some scholars and Northwest Coast traditionalists, Northwest Coast ceremonial art has generally been perceived as de-contextualized when taken away from its ceremonial context. When the words and songs and dances are taken away from Northwest Coast art, it is perceived by some as being robbed of its meaning; hence the title “Con Text.” As a contemporary Coast Salish artist, one of the undertakings of my work is to create a new context for Coast Salish art through the utilization of text.”
