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.

This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's. The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh, and the northern boundary is not marked. The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to the Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east. There are no latitude or longitude markings, blank verso. Framed in a shaped contemporary gilt wooden frame and matted under a cream colored matte. Bearing an old Graham Arader Gallery...
