Notes

Klee Wyck gathers a series of short sketches drawn from Emily Carr’s periods living among Indigenous communities on the Northwest Coast, where she was painting village sites and monumental totem poles. Writing from direct experience, Carr records daily encounters, conversations, and moments of shared life with warmth, humor, and emotional sensitivity.
