As a result of contact with Europeans, and particularly since the late eighteenth century (by which time trading patterns with Europeans were well-established), First Nations Artists in Canada adopted new tools and new materials and merged them with their traditional iconography. During the twentieth century, many vital regional schools developed, reflecting cultural regional identities—particularly on the West Coast; in the Eastern Woodlands; and in the Arctic. In recent years, notable painting traditions have also developed in the western plains. |
