Many people have asked to see the back of the pendants that I post, so I thought that a video may be the best way to view my work.

According to Kwakwaka’wakw tradition, the copper is a symbol of wealth, and is an important part of the potlatch culture. Each one has a name, a history and a value. They gain value as they are traded, bought, sold and gifted within the feast system.

Yesterday, this was just a block of wood from a 500 year-old red cedar tree. Today, there are so many possibilities; it can be carved into any character from the ancient stories. It was almost 40 years ago when Beau Dick & Wayne Alfred showed me how to rough-out a mask from block of wood. I was young then, and I did not realize how fortunate I was to learn from two of the masters.

 

I am undecided where to go with this mask. Who do you see in this rough chunk of

cedar?

The Thunderbird is my favorite design. It is my family’s main crest, and represents the first ancestor, from myth-time, when supernatural beings came down from above and lived & had children with the first people.
