PLAIN DEALER SUNDAY MAY 10 1987 9-I Unusual arts, crafts found in Canadian Rockies' resort By RUTH ROBINSON NEW YORK TIMES BANFF, Alberta Banff, the resort in the Canadian Rockies long acclaimed for its natural beauty, has over the last decade or so emerged as a center for native arts and crafts. Shops emphasizing Canadiana, from Eskimo carvings to bronze sculptures, from paintings to jewelry incorporating native stones, have been profilerating along Banff in the arcades off it and in the cavernous regions of the Banff Springs Hotel, which alone boasts more than 30 boutiques. A case in point is Canada House (403-762-3757), with perhaps the largest collection of prints by Canadian artists in the country. "Certainly in western Canada I believe we represent more artists with greater depth of inventory than any gallery I've been in," says Peter McCaffrey, who founded the gallery at Caribou and Bear a block off Banff 12 years ago. Then there is Marika, the jewelry shop representing Canadian goldsmiths that his wife, Marika McCaffrey, opened two years later in the -TRAVELFREEPORTAT THE: 1, 3, 5, 8 NIGHTS FROM: INCLUDING AIR.

At Canada House customers can flip through the flashers of prints in limited editions divided into three categories native Indian, Inuit, as the Eskimos are known in Canada, and artists of primarily European descent. Prints, though, constitute just a small portion of the stock, which includes original oils and watercolors, paper casts, Inuit and Indian carvings, bronze sculptures and jewelry. Jewelry is mostly Indian work and includes sterling silver and gold pendants and pins by the Kwakiutl and Haida work in argillite, a black stone traditionally used for carving totem poles. There is also a 39-inch totem pole here with abalone shell inlay by Rufus Moody. At $20,964, it is the most expensive piece in stock.
Both McCaffrey shops are open daily year round, except for Christmas, New Year's Day and Easter, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m,. June through September, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. the rest of the year.
