The Lock Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 5 hours ago, gurn said: "If you ever drop your keys in molten lava, forget about them; because man, their gone" 10,000 years later some future archaeologist finds those keys preserved by the lava and tries piece together what the were for. Meanwhile everyone in 10,000 years doesn't even know what hockey is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a small but very vocal movement, much like things like true believer wexiteers on the right. What bugs me is, there is a rational, reasonable discussion to have about when and how to work with first nations artists, but we're not having that discussion. Instead we're talking about the extremists. Its really unfortunate that the extremists are able to grab on to a story and rag doll it for their own politics.

I think the helm is cool, and a compliment to their culture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that the Canucks did consult with some First Nations folks about the orca, thats a good way to show a compliment. Just using it on its own isn't necessarily a compliment, imo.

To me just talking something and using it with no consultation isn't necessarily a compliment and can be looked at poorly by the culture you're taking the idea from. I think its better to at least try to make an effort with local artists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consultation is the most respectful way of doing it of course but imo, if you genuinely respect and research the style it is a compliment as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanfor42 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 If it helps, when considering this type of dilemna with respect to art it can be approached by asking a simple question. Does the questioning and discussion present an opportunity for the human spirit to be raised and for the art form to be improved? If yes then it is for good. I am certain that Braden Holtby as well as the Canucks and the indigenous artist he chooses will all benefit in the long run. This will become a feel good story and his new mask will be a celebration. A little discourse is not a bad thing. Either side. Don't be afraid to discuss. Question. Speak out. Share your opinion. All good. Feeling afraid to share your opinion is where the real danger lies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
