In 1998 Dzawada'enuxw artist Marianne Nicolson scaled a vertical rock face in Kingcome Inlet, British Columbia, to paint a 28- by 38-foot pictograph to mark the continued vitality of her ancestral village of Gwa'yi. Two Wolves at the Dawn of Time is the story of that painting and of earlier politically defiant rock art. The Dzawada'enuxw never stopped potlatching, trading coppers or creating pictographs, not even in the face of the government's attempt to move them from their ancestral villages and force their assimilation into settler society.

Judith Williams tracks an amazing history of a culturally and geographically rich locale at a flashpoint in Native-white relations. She investigates various forms and eras of rock art around Kingcome Inlet and plumbs the archives to measure colonialism's persistent legacy.
