Crooked Beak Mask | Humsumhl1-1669

Galokwudzuis, Crooked Beak of the Sky, is one of a household of monster birds and creatures, associates of the Man-eater Bahkwbakwalanooksiwey, the motivator of the major dances of the Tseyka, the winter ceremonial of the Kwakwaka'wakw. Of these dances, the first is the Hamatsa, impersonator of Man-eater himself. The Tseyka dances come from ancestors' fabled experiences with the creatures of the supernatural world, and the public dramatizations of those encounters are among the most prestigious ceremonial acts. (Holm, Spirit and Ancestor, 1987)
