The following quote describes this figure in "The Spirit of Haida Gwaii". Bill Reid's description of the Chief: Here we are at last, a long way from Haida Gwaii, not too sure where we are or where we're going, still squabbling and vying for position in the boat, but somehow managing to appear to be heading in some direction; at least the paddles are together, and the man in the middle seems to have some vision of what is to come. |
