- Story
There are four clans in Gitxaala, my home village, also known as Kitkatla, B.C. All children are born into the clan of the mother. I was born Eagle, the first of my series of the four clans, or tribes as they are known at home.
The inspiration for Big Raven comes from the famous Humsum or Hamatsa dances. The Big Raven mask is the largest of the four dramatic masks in every Kwakwakawak Potlatch. The Raven is the fourth of the clans and my name, Tlakwagila comes from the House of Walkus in Wuikinuxv, B.C., and is in the Raven Clan.
