Artist Hazel Wilson stitched Haida history into blank

The Globe and Mail interviewed UBC Museum of Anthropology curator Karen Duffek for an obituary on Haida artist Hazel Wilson.

“When Hazel moved to Vancouver, she started to make button blankets for sale, and with the earnings she and her family travelled around North America,” Duffek said. “She told about this in Doreen Jensen’s 1986 MOA book Robes of Power, and called her family trips ‘travelling on blanket power.’”
