Used for dramatic recreations of the ancestors adventures, they carry a depth of social, historical, and religious meaning.This is a rare look into the traditional ways of creating these beautiful masks that have brought such admiration to these native American carvers.
Author Lelooska has spent a lifetime creating these masks, a privilege bestowed upon him by the Kwakiutl. He has recreated many of the ceremonial masks which were lost or destroyed when the potlach was, for a time, outlawed. His masks are used in the traditional dances both at the revived gatherings and at recreations of the dances presented by the Lelooska Foundation in Ariel, Washington.
Now he shares the traditional carving techniques with carvers everywhere.
