Description | Coast Salish / Kwakwaka’wakw Nations Klatle Bhi, pronounced “Klath Bay”, was born in North Vancouver, British Columbia in 1966. His name, given to him by his grandmother, Emily Baker, means “Head Killerwhale of a pod of Killerwhales.” His interest in the art world began at a young age with avid study of his ancestors who were featured in museums and galleries. He spent two years apprenticing with master carver Simon Dick and attributes a large part of his success to this time. Klatle Bhi spent many hours with Wayne Alfred, Wade Baker, and Rick Harry absorbing their understanding and knowledge of Native culture. His uncle, T. Richard Baker, has shared with Klatle the knowledge he has gained over many years of working with renowned Haida artists Bill Reid, Robert Davidson and Jim Hart. Klatle is committed to the spiritual and cultural expression of his people. He has taken part in cultural events such as mask dancing, singing, Potlaching as well as playing a prominent role in the revival of sea-going canoe journeys. Many of his carvings and graphics express his personal and spiritual journey. To Klatle, creating with his hands serves as a source of purification and learning. |

Iksduq’iya & Qolun (Eagle & Beaver) Box
Lyle Wilson
Price upon requestSterling Silver, Engraved and Textured on Hollow-ware2015
“My father’s Eagle Clan adopted me, but I was actually born into my mother’s Beaver Clan. Since the Haisla followed a matrilineal system, whereby every child was automatically included into its mother’s clan, my unusual adoption was due to the circumstances of the Eagle Clan having so many of its members die. Due to the early and unfamiliar diseases, everyone feared the clan would eventually become extinct.
I’ve always loved the look of a full-size, traditional wooden bent-box and liked the idea of a smaller, silver box using the same traditional proportions. It adds a unique sculptural look to any small box which, once seen, becomes a more appreciated detail with every subsequent examination. The box’s construction technique is very deceptive; it looks solid but is actually a box-within-a-box, with the hollow spaces between each ‘box’ allowing for visually thicker walls. For this box, I decided to honor my connections to both Haisla Clans – Beaver and Eagle – by engraving each on one-half of the box. The box’s lid has another Eagle engraved on the top, and the Halibut, a sub-crest shared by both clans, is engraved around the edges.”

Moon Mask
Klatle Bhi
CA$20,500.00Red Cedar wood
Exquisitely carved in rich red cedar, this captivating Moon Mask constitutes yet another variation on the beautiful pieces that have characterized much of Klatle-Bhi’s recent work.
The Moon is seen as a symbol of protection and guardianship, and is often associated with transformation. Due to its mystical powers, Shamans will sometimes call upon it as a spirit guide. It is believed that the Moon is responsible for affecting and changing one’s mood, similar to the way in which it controls tidal changes and illuminates the dark sky.
