Thunderbird Drum
Maynard Johnny Jr.
CA$2,400.00Elk hide, Sinew, Acrylic paint
The drum is considered one of the main percussive instruments, along with the rattle, which was used in traditional Northwest Coast ceremonies and cultural events. Its beat provides the basis from which dances, songs and oral histories are performed during a Potlatch.
The Thunderbird is a supernatural, mythical creature that lives high in the mountains and feeds on Killerwhale. It’s been aptly named for the thunder that rolls off its wings and lightening comes from its eyes when it flies.

Red Killerwhale Panel
Don Yeomans
CA$16,000.00Red Cedar wood, Acrylic paint
“In 1978, I did my first silkscreen print design. It was a red formlined transforming Raven. The people I showed it to said it was not traditional, as most designs have black formline and red fillers. Out of fear, I did a traditional Dogfish and released it together with my so-called radical red Raven.
To this day, red formlines make me a little nervous – but with this Killerwhale being one of my first uses of undulating formline, I needed to be bold. People believe confidence is the absence of fear when it comes to being accepted. In my experience, the fear never leaves, you just keep your nerves to yourself. Maybe that’s why it’s called ‘self-confidence’.” – Don Yeomans

Moon & Ravens Mask
Don Yeomans
CA$15,000.00Cast Forton, Edition of 12
Unframed
(For inquiries on Custom Framing, please contact the gallery)
“When I decided to carve a Moon mask, I wanted it to depict something beyond Haida legend. Traditionally, Raven is represented with the Sun and Moon because of his role in placing these heavenly elements into our sky. With my mask, the female Moon is surrounded by two Ravens – a male and female. They represent myself and my wife Trace, as we are both from the Haida Raven clan. Looking at the stars and moon on clear nights just happens to be one of our favourite things to do.” – Don Yeomans
