Chris Arnett

Author and carver Chris Arnett is a fourth generation British Columbian on his mother’s side and a member of the Ngai Tahu, a New Zealand Maori tribe, on his father’s side. With a life-long interest in the pre-history and history of BC and New Zealand, he has researched the archeology of the Stein River Valley for the ‘Nlaka’pamux Nation Development Corporation and has worked for the Sooke Region Museum and Archives on a historical survey of logging on Vancouver Island’s southwest coast, which was published in 1989.
Arnett has worked for various native bands as a heritage consultant; he has also taught First Nations studies at Malaspina College.

QUOTES OF NOTE

“…an engrossing and delightful book.”

— Georgia Straight

“With her inclusion of contextual references, time- and community-based specificities, and political subjectivities, Cryer’s collection is perfectly positioned for a Hul’q‘umi’num’ Coast Salish-centered critical lens to be theorized and historicized from the work.”

— Canadian Literature

“A book that provides some of the best accounts of Coast Salish mythology available.”

— BC Studies

QUOTES OF NOTE

“ Terror of the Coast is an excellent example of the sort of penetrating research and analysis now being published outside the university press community. It will become a valued reference for Northwest Coast scholars as well as an engaging textbook for … students. ”

— Canadian Historical Review
