'This linocut was selected by the Society of Canadian Painter-Etchers and Engravers as the presentation print for its members in 1952. It shows the costumes and headdresses of the North-West American Indian women of Nootka, British Columbia, and is the first print by Andrews to acknowledge her new Canadian surroundings.' (extract from Linocuts of the Machine Age - Claude Flight and the Grosvenor School by Stephen Coppel (Scolar Press in association with the National Gallery of Australia, 1995, p. 119)
