Summary
Arthur Pitts' (1889-1972) fascinating story includes life as an artist in Vancouver in the 1920s and 1930s. His fascination with indigenous cultures, led him to travel over 4,000 miles in British Columbia and Alaska, producing a large body of watercolours and sketches that focused on Coast Salish, Tlingit, and Ktunaxa First Nations. He lived for over 30 years in Saanichton.
