This design was inspired by a mask I created out of red cedar. The colour scheme for the design is the same as those found on a Chilkat blanket. The moon is a celestial body that can have a great effect on both planet and people, particularly the ocean tides. These bring salmon, a food resource which has sustained our people since the beginning of our time. This is why the Kwakwaka'wakw have always been known as the 'salmon people'. This design was also inspired by the four women connected to the discipline of Chilkat weaving in my family, past and present. - Kevin Cranmer
