Description | Tlingit Nation 1960 – 2022 Mark Preston (Tenna-Tsa-Teh) was born in 1960 in Dawson City, Yukon. He was of Tlingit and Irish ancestry. He learned about his Tlingit ancestry through his family and school. Initially, he began studying art through studying European masters such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo but later discovered and studied First Nation masters – Bill Reid, Robert Davidson and Roy Henry Vickers. Mark studied various mediums and carved with notable carvers. He began studying silver carving with well known master jeweler carver, Phil Janze [Gitskan Nation] at Hazelton, B.C. and then, in the latter years of his career, moved into wood carving. Upon returning to the Yukon after many years living in Vancouver, he began to work with his mother, Kay-Yee-Yah [Big Country Woman], who was an artist in her own right. This collaboration between Mark and his mother produced a unique and successful line of garments with extraordinarily beautiful appliqués of cloth and/or beading. Mark also dedicated himself to creating original paintings and graphics, which reflected traditional Tlingit images in a whimsical and contemporary format. |

Beaver Swimming

The Beaver appears in Northwest mythology and is a family crest in many regions throughout the Northwest Coast. According to legend, the first Beaver was a woman, whose husband frequently went on long hunting and fishing trips. In his absence, his lonely wife took solace swimming, enlarging her pond with a dam and building her own water dwelling. Eventually, she transformed into a Beaver and their children were Beaver People, founding the Beaver lineage.
In mythology, they are often associated with the powerful undersea supernatural beings and the magic Giant Beaver can cause natural disaster with one slap of its wide, strong tail. Characterisically, the Beaver is known to keep to himself and cares little for the activities of the humans, except when they are directly affected. Thus, they often give wise advice so it is important to listen when they do decide to speak.
