Gitxsan Art
Gitxsan Art is a traditional form of artistic expression from the Gitxsan people, an Indigenous group in British Columbia, Canada. This art often features intricate designs and symbols that represent the culture, history, and beliefs of the Gitxsan. Common mediums include wood carving, weaving, and painting, with a focus on natural materials.
