Sacred textiles β€œRavenstail” and β€œChilkat” robes. Two dozen robes carry the story of Native weaving among the Tsimshian, Haida, and Tlingit of Alaska and British Columbia, representing both ancient and modern ceremonial robes made by Alaska Natives and First Nations weavers.

Kagan. A bent wood box, good enough to keep precious contents safe from even the smallest mouse. DΓ‘ng sgΓΊnaan dii kuyΓ‘adaang. I love only you, a love story of Eagle kissing Raven, and Raven falling in love. #bentwoodbox #haidagwaii #kwaatsaaps

Yahguudangang (To Pay Respect): 12,000+ historic Haida belongings are held in 300+ global institutions. They were removed during genocide and colonization c. 1800-1900s. So far, our Nation has repatriated 500+ Ancestors and hundreds of Belongings, and we've made dear friends/allies along the way <3

My first public box. I’m thankful I can learn how to paint. This design- took about six months to be comfortable with. I love the process.
