Similar to 19th-century steamship travel, 21st-century cruise ships link far-flung communities for visitors to the Pacific Northwest Coast. Contemporary Indigenous artists, like their ancestors before them, have transformed touristic curiosity into economic, educational and cultural opportunities for their communities. Public art has become an increasingly important site for engaging visitors who have only a few hours to spend on shore. This paper compares two public art projects—Juneau, Alaska’s Kootéeyaa Deiyí (Totem Pole Trail) and Vancouver, British Columbia’s Blanketing the City—to explore the multivalent ways in which public art expresses Indigenous sovereignty.

取代定居者空间：本土公共艺术的变革力量

与 19 世纪的轮船旅行类似，21 世纪的游轮将遥远的社区连接起来，为太平洋西北海岸的游客提供服务。当代土著艺术家，就像他们的祖先一样，将旅游的好奇心转化为社区的经济、教育和文化机会。公共艺术已成为吸引那些在岸上只有几个小时的游客的越来越重要的场所。本文比较了两个公共艺术项目——阿拉斯加朱诺的 Kootéeyaa Deiyí（图腾柱小径）和不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华的覆盖城市——以探索公共艺术表达原住民主权的多种方式。
