Long ago, the people
were starving so K·!ā’lamin went hunting mountain goats to feed the village. He
met Merciful Bear & was taken to the underground village of the mountain
goats. He was given a supernatural gift & became a great hunter. But there
was one taboo, which he broke, & he was transformed into a mountain goat.

I like the way a mask
looks when the carving is finished, just before it is painted. Sometimes I
think just painting the eyes would be sufficient.

A Canadian museum contacted me about my work in their
collection. Then I realized that they had the wrong title on my piece . For 30
years!

In ancient times, Made to be Hunter was caught
in a storm while hunting seals, & he washed up in the Land of the Ghosts.
The Bukwis, the Chief of the Ghosts, offered him delicious roast salmon, which
was actually rotten wood, to trap him in the Land of the Ghosts forever. Despite
his hunger, he resisted the Bukwis & was eventually rescued by his
brothers.
