Coastal Peoples

You can find all the standard designer names in Vancouver’s retail outlets, but if you’re looking for something unique to British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest, head to one of the two branches of this gallery dedicated to the work of First Nation artists. Here you’ll find outstanding examples of the wood carving the coastal tribes are known for: masks, boxes, totems, oars. They also have prints and stone carvings and sculptures. Everything sold here is of exceptional quality. Their Gastown location is at 312 Water Street.
