Summary
Impending Nisga'a Deal. Last Stand. Chump Change.
"This painting was produced in 1996, the same year that an Agreement-in-Principle regarding Nisga'a land claims was reached. The landscape appears to be stained and barren; towards the middle of the painting the land appears ruptured. An ovoid crumpled in the bottom right hand corner seems an apt metaphor for this exhausted and used environment. The painting's title reads as a wake-up call, suggesting that in the face of the impending deal there's time to take a last stand, while Chump Change seems to be a comment on the terms of the deal. After all, the Nisga'a land claim, the first settled in BC, can be traced to the 19th century. During this time, the Nisga'a endured legislation, through a 1927 amendment to the Indian Act, denying First Nations people the right to seek legal counsel in their claims against the government. Contested territory was logged, mined, fished and contaminated."
