I don't know if I'm using this descriptive alt text correctly, but I'll try: In this picture, I am on the left and my son on the right. We are greeting people after ceremony. We are wearing our ceremonial robes, depicting some of our crest prerogatives. I am wearing an eagle on my robe, my son a beaver. I am wearing a cedar bark-woven hat, my son is wearing a Raven's Tail headband. I am holding a drum. We are both ceremonial singers. We belong to the Kay'ahl Laanas / Ts'aahl clan from Haida Gwaii. We have the right to wear Eagle, Beaver and several other crests.
I am standing (left) with two of my clan sisters at our 2022 pole raising at Xaayna, Haida Gwaii. I am wearing a fancy woven cedar bark hat by Marlene Liddle, holding my gaawjaaw (drum) designed and painted by my brother Iljuuwaas Tyson Brown. The design on the drum is one of our crests, the maamats'iigaay (dragonfly).
This is a photo of my daughter dancing at a recent potlatch on Haida Gwaii. She is wearing a ceremonial robe featuring our clan's principal crest, K'aagwaay (Five-finned Seamonster). The design is by my brother, Iljuuwaas Tyson Brown. It is the principal crest of our clan. When people see K'aagwaay, they know they are looking at a Kay'ahl Laanas Haida. I made the blanket, hand-cut out and machine-appliquéd the design. My daughters' aunties sewed on abalone buttons. She was presented this robe at her high-school graduation to mark this passage in her life. She is wearing a fancy cedar bark-woven hat by Marlene Liddle. *Jeff Gibbs photo.
This is a photo of a a person becoming a Gaagiixid (Wild person of the woods) mask by my brother Iljuuwaas Tyson Brown. Wood-carved, painted, horse hair, abalone shell eyes, operculum shell teeth. We dance Gaagiixid often to capture the attention of the audience before performing ceremony, but there is much more to the gaagiixid.
Did you know Haida art is the visual companion to our language? All you amazing Bluesky folk - please enjoy the growing amount of Haida art and artists and other Indigenous art and artist coming onto Bluesky - it is our main form of communication!

In Vancouver? We highly recommend visiting the Bill Reid Gallery before Formline: Calligraphy, The Creative Synergy of Bill Reid and Bob Reid closes on Feb 2. A lovely little exhibition celebrating creative excellence, differences and friendship.
