Dr. Sarah Hunt / Tłaliłila’ogwa wins the Hilda Neatby Prize

June 24, 2024

We are delighted to announce that Dr. Sarah Hunt / Tłaliłila’ogwa has been awarded the prestigious Hilda Neatby Prize for her exceptional article, "Looking for Lucy Homiskanis, Confronting Emily Carr: Restorying Nature, Gender, and Belonging on the Northwest Coast," published in BC Studies.

Dr. Hunt’s article reclaims Indigenous women’s voices through the narrative of her ancestor, Lucy Homiskanis, while providing a critical examination of Emily Carr’s artwork and its selective use by cultural institutions. Her work not only enriches our understanding of the Northwest Coast but also challenges us to reconsider popular representations of nature through a gendered lens. Read the full article here.

Congratulations, Dr. Hunt, on this well-deserved recognition!
