Spirit of the Ancestors-Engraved silver broaches and bracelets were first worn by Northwest Coast Native women to display their inherited crests during the late 19th century, when they were no longer able to display their crests by wearing ceremonial regalia or tattoos.

In the Spirit of the Ancestors-This robe was worn by Haida artist Reg Davidson at a potlatch he hosted in Old Massett, B.C. in February 2002. The designs on the central panel are called tattoo designs, after a traditional pattern that was tattooed onto the backs of Tlingit noble women's hands. Davidson's robe was inspired by an old robe documented in a sketch made by Pavel Mikhailov on a voyage to the Northwest Coast in 1827.
