brings together rare works of
art as a counterpoint to the
supernatural storyline of the
popular <em>Twilight</em> films.
Interpreted by the Quileute
people of coastal Washington,
<em>Behind the Scenes: The
Real Story of the Quileute
Wolves </em>offers an
intimate look into the tribe's
artwork and wolf creation
stories, which are central to
the Quileute world view. <br>
<br>
The exhibition includes two
wolf headdresses from
different regions, as well as
replicas of items used on the
<em>Twilight</em> set; a
Paddle necklace symbolizing
the "canoe culture," and a
necklace made from
3,000-year-old Olivella
shells.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 9px;"><em>This
headdress belonged to
Tyler Hobucket (1889–1960)
and originates from the
Nuu-chah-nulth First
Nation, possibly Nitinat
on Vancouver Island.</em></span><br>

welcomes Tsimshian carver <strong>David
Boxley </strong>and his son
<strong>David Boxley Jr.</strong>
for the official unveiling of
a specially commissioned,
22-foot-high totem pole that
will be permanently installed
in the museum's Potomac
Atrium. <br>
<br>
As artists-in-residence
January 4-11, Boxley and his
son completed and painted the
totem pole in the museum's
Potomac Atrium as visitors
watched and learned about the
carving tradition and the
story that their newest
creation illustrates. </span></span></span></span></span></p>
