This cedar bark hat is made in the Haida style using double warp.

"My cultural inspiration originates and starts with a small village on Prince of Wales Island called Klawock where I learned incredibly young the value of respect for ceremony, protocols, song, dance, and regalia workshops as well as learning arduous work and living off the land. There is a deep connection involved when creating art to share and wear that I want others to have the same powerful and life changing experiences. I am committed to preserving traditional practices and whole heartedly believe in the importance to preserve traditional styles for our children's children to learn from."
