'Spirit of the Ancestors' - This apron is the only contemporary Chilkat style weaving in the Burke's collection, and was woven by the only male Native weaver known to use this technique. Many believe that Tsimshian women originated this complex technique of weaving in the late 18th or early 19th centuries. This apron depicts a Raven with its wings outstretched.
The paint is gray, green, red, and brown.
Spirit of the Ancestors-Ulth-ma-koke is by far my very favorite character in our history. And I prefer the term history to mythology because all of these things in our culture spring from the real, actual beings and actual experiences. This represents a person of my father and uncle's generation. - Hyacinth Joe David
