Nation | Nuu-chah-nulth / Sioux / Dakota Nations |
Description | Nuu-chah-nulth / Sioux / Dakota Nations Douglas David was born in 1971 into the Nuu-chah-nulth nation, on his father’s side and the Sioux Dakota nation on his mother’s side. Both his parents are artists, and from birth Douglas has been exposed to the traditional art of these cultures. At the age of eight Douglas realized his visions could be transferred from thought to hand and has been carving ever since. Douglas acknowledges his father Joe David, a renowned master carver along with Douglas’s mother and ancestral spirits as his teachers and mentors. Douglas’s specific crests belonging to the Nuu Chah Nulth nation are the Wolf, Killerwhale, and Thunderbird. These crest images are prevalent in his works on wood and raw hide. Now, as a single parent of 7 children, he has passes on his own experiences and knowledge to them to ensure the continuation of this artform from one generation to the next so it will thrive and survive. Douglas is an experienced carver and his works are in various collections worldwide. He is considered part of the next generation of master artists of the Northwest Coast. |

Nag°aci (Moon) Pendant

CA$1,500.00Sterling silver, Abalone shell, Cast, Engraved, Textured
Edition of 9
2013“The story of ‘Raven Releasing the Light’ has several versions depending upon the teller and the Pacific Northwest Coast group. In some versions the sun is featured while in others the moon or stars are included. My Haisla grandmother told us a version where the moon was the central character. Therefore, in this limited edition I decided to portray a moon to honour the memory of her telling the story to my sisters, brother and cousins when we were just very young children. Having seen the full moon on numerous occasions, I’ve come to portray the moon’s corona as a series of concentric rings to indicate a softer, gentler, radiating light.”
