Skullka's Sihouette

The history of colonialism on the Northwest Coast has silences and omissions. One of the quietest are the voices of Indigenous women. Their stories were not written down except in glimpses of tragedy, loss, poverty, stolen children and exploitation. Indigenous communities remember their suffering, but it remains hidden in the wider histories of the colonial period. Kimberly Fulton Orozco’s prints serve as stark reminders that the tragedies displayed here happened to real people and must not be forgotten.
