Beaver MaskThis Beaver Mask is carved and painted by Greg Henderson from the Kwakwakawakw Nation (formerly known as Kwakiutl Nation). It has been carved from red cedar and painted in red, black, brown, and green acrylic. Beaver is a prominent 'Nakwaxda'xw crest. Greg used the addition of green in reference to the Beaver coming from the forest. Areas of the mask are carved with a cross hatching texture, alluding to the Beaver's signature tail.
