“Islands of Spirits” This exceptional body of tribal artifacts and photographs of these populations is the result of 25 years of travel to these remote islands by Lincoln collector and educator Dr. Kam Chin Leung. Dr. leung has been fortunate to have visited some very remote areas over the last twenty five years to observe distinct customs and to make personal contact with the people of many vanishing tribes. As a professional astronomer, originally his interest was drawn because most isolated cultures have a rich history of using astronomy and the stars in all aspects of their lives. In time, his interest evolved and he began to document their daily lives through photography, and collecting artifacts associated with their daily living.

A part of our history as human beings is rapidly disappearing – the traditional world of indigenous peoples or first nations. Climatic conditions, geological surroundings, and historical developments have lead to diverse cultures evolving in a unique manner around the world. Through the passage of time, natural disasters, diseases, wars, and religious conflicts have prevented the preservation of many tribes’ way of life. At present, many indigenous cultures that have taken years to evolve in isolation are fast disappearing. There is no easy way to prevent the development and even exploitation of places once isolated from outside influences and preserves the unique culture sustained there for generations.
