Summary
The many layers of traditional knowledge and recorded history of Pacific arts interact with politics and change that bring us into the twenty-first century. An author today faces questions of balance among Indigenous art content and its origins; Western history as recorded by Europeans, Americans, and others; Western artists and modernism; and Indigenous contemporary artists and intangible knowledge.1
