Native American Masks
This category represents all original and authentic Native American masks from the Pacific Northwest Coast that are carved from yellow cedar, red cedar and alder. Based on a very rich tradition most contemporary West Coast Native Artists focus on and interpret the stories as well as the totems to which they have hereditary rights.
West Coast Native American Masks
The following Indian face masks and dance masks are mainly inspired by the Haida and Kwakiutl or Kwakwaka'wakw traditions from Haida Gwaii, Vancouver Island and British Columbia's West Coast. Historically and increasingly today, Pacific Northwest Coast Native masks are mainly used for ceremonial purposes.
Native American Masks and Spirits.
The native masks often represented spirit creatures, animals and myths. When used in the Potlatch or other West Coast Native ceremonies, the native dancers would take on the personification of the creatures that the masks represented and enter the supernatural world during the dance. A West Coast Native transformation mask often represents the transformation of a human to a mythical creature or animal and vice versa.

Just to let you know that the bracelet and print both arrived safely yesterday--talk about quick service!! I am most pleased with both, and will be ordering from you again in the future. If at any time you have a sale, please put me on the list of people to notify. Many thanks,
Joan from Washington, USA
Dear Walter, my hummingbird flew here safe and sound. She is even more beautiful than I imagined. I am glad the artist signed it and will enjoy seeing what else he has made in the future.
Vicki from Washington, USA
I got the ring, it's beautiful! Thanks,
Jean from Nevada, USA
I just wanted to send out a quick thank you, the first ring arrived yesterday, and it is gorgeous!!! I couldn't have imagined how beautiful this ring actually was until I got it. It is absolutely perfect. Take care and again thank you,
Jennifer from Alberta, Canada
Walter, I wanted to let you know that we received our rings this morning. They are absolutely beautiful. We couldn't be happier. What I like is that the thickness (density) of the silver is great. The rings we looked at in Jasper were not as dense as these rings which was worrisome as over the years, they could bend or dent. The artwork is stunning. Have a wonderful day and thank you again,
Meghan from Saskatchewan, Canada
Dear Walter, thank you very very much for sending the bracelet which has meanwhile arrived. It is really a wonderful artwork. Best regards,
Kirsten from Germany
