Artist statement: "I look at art as having a purpose, to tell a story passed down from generation to generation through our elders or known as “Dena nenn Sogga neh ‘ine” (Protectors or Keepers of the Land), elders who have proven their worth and deserve our utmost respect"!

Meaning: Eagles mate for life and are therefore also seen as a symbol of lasting love and dedication. It is told that the Eagle end their own life in despair when the mate is lost. Eagle feathers are used in the most important ceremonies, a display of respect, courage, Chieftainship and wisdom. The Bear is a symbol for power, courage, physical strength and leadership. Warriors e.g. are known to wear bear claw necklaces which meant protection. In Haida culture the Bear is referred to as "Elder Kinsman" and was treated like a high-ranking guest.
