Elder Female Dancer with Helpers

Hilbert is known for his works reflecting different Salish (Western Washington Indian culture) ceremonial dances. We've had this for centuries, although it was outlawed in the early 1900s by the Catholic Church, said Hilbert. I am proud to bring this culture to all people, Indian and non-Indian. I want everyone to see what we have, what our culture is about. Ours is a religion that is tolerant of all others. –Artist statement
