Northwest Coast is a publication series edited by Dana Claxton. Collectively, the series highlights the Northwest Coast region as a place in common that underlines the development and thrivance of the contemporary creative practices of five Indigenous women. Each book features a single text by a Northwest Coast First Nations artist in which they reflect on the sociopolitical context for their contemporary art practices and engagement with traditional Indigenous Northwest Coast visual culture. As Dana Claxton notes in her foreword to the texts, “It is my hope that the words and art in these precious volumes contribute to critical consciousness and justice for Indigenous People.”

Series titles include:
NCW #1 Skeena Reece, “When the Business of Native Art Criticism Becomes Critical”
NWC #2 Brenda Crabtree, “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted”
NWC #3 Morgan Asoyuf
NWC #4 Marika Swan, “Pulling Back into Place”
NWC #5 Roxanne Charles, “Hybridity: Practices Rooted in Indigenous Epistemologies, Born of Resistance, and Engaged in the Occupation of Sociopolitical Space”
