Located in Philadelphia, PA
A fine vintage Pacific Northwest Native wooden carving. The carving in the form of an hawk with red, black, white, and yellow tones set on a brown wooden board. By William Wasden Jr. Wasden was trained from a very young age in numerous artistic practices of the Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw peoples including carving, jewelrymaking, and printing. As a high schooler, he began focusing primarily on preserving traditional singing after hearing his grandfather perform. Wasden currently teaches singing in Alert Bay on Cormorant Island, British Columbia. He also heads the Gwa'wina Dancer's Cultural Society, whose mission is to spread authentic Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw culture & teachings.
