I have been spending a lot of time working on my webpage of Northwest Coast Native Indian masterworks. Some of the best pieces by the old masters, like this rare stone mask.

Added a new page on my website, amazing photographs of Kwakiutl carvings and culture by Edward S. Curtis. When he photographed my people in 1905 he found the culture alive and well, and did a movie as well as a superb body of photographs.
