Briefly discusses exhibition of Warli art called Birth of the Painted World and the activities of the Society for Indian Music and Arts (SIMA) at Pennsylvania State University.

Looks at historical and ethnographic records to see if the diatomaceous earth found in museums with Coast Salish collections is the same earth used to coat the wool used in Salish spinning.
Focuses on two objects from the exhibition (Wasco argillite platter and totem pole) to demonstrate the artist's execution of two-dimensional and three-dimensional design.
Excerpt from Charles Edenshaw curated by Robin K. Wright and Daina Augaitis.
Artist's own experiences as a hybrid subject influence her work and represents the reality of most Aboriginal people today. Includes annotated photographs from exhibition.
