Made by Gitxsan Artist, Katrina Husband:

My name is Katrina Husband, and I am an artist and educator. Haida Gwaii has been my home since birth, even when I travel away for short pieces of time. Although my heritage is Gitxsan and settler nations Haida Gwaii has always been home. Growing up there has influenced my art, cultural identity, and heightened my appreciation of the natural world. I was taught at a very young age how to do bead and textile work by my artist Auntie Sugiit Lukxs (Yolonda Skelton) of the Gitxsan nation who has always been a mentor throughout many stages of my life.
