Acknowledging the work our ancestors left us, to practice weaving and harvesting our resources with respect and mindfulness of ourselves so that, the legacy can continue. The following describes how our communities take care of each other during our happy and sad times. Tlingit, Haida and Tsimpsians believe it is important to hold up our father's people to keep balance. The celebrations of life and death have sustained our cultures since time immemorial. This adds the 'spirit' to our art forms. Our people believe there is a spirit in all things.
