This wine list and cocktail menu is decorated with two different images of Northwest Indian art. I’m not a Native American and I think the problem with cultural appropriation tends to be overblown, but I still cringe a little bit when I see Indian art out of place, the same way that I feel when I see Indians hundreds of miles from the Great Plains wearing plains war bonnets because that is how white tourists expected Native Americans to dress.

The art shown on this menu is from Northwest coastal Indians, who were hundreds of miles away from the Rocky Mountains where Jasper was located. The Blackfeet Indians, who were native to the Jasper area, had their own art, and it is too bad that Canadian National didn’t commission one of those natives to design the menu. But that may be a little nit picky; if you only had black and red to decorate a menu, Northwest Indian art would be an attractive way of doing so.
