The Spirit of Siteeyi Gheeyi/Glacier Bay Mask (Kaasteen) tells the story of the Chookaneidee Clan's deep and sacred connection to Glacier Bay — the homeland from which the Hoonah Tlingits were displaced and to which they have returned as Cultural Bearers. This mask was begun and sand-carved aboard the Celebrity Solstice cruise ship while passing through Siteeyi Gheeyi/Glacier Bay, and completed by Fred Fulmer, Xuna/Hoonah Tlingit Elder and Cultural Bearer, in his studio. Carved from Old Growth Red Cedar with Abalone shell inlay and Cedar Bark Hair. This mask comes ready to hang.
Available now. $3,200.00.
