Subject Information	The Musqueam and their predecessors (on whose traditional territory the Museum of Anthropology stands) have been here for an estimated 10,000 years. Musqueam artist Susan Point found inspiration in two 19th century house posts from her home community and interpreted them into a contemporary context. In Musqueam, art was created out of individual inspiration and most often viewed by those inside a house.
