This figure stood on top of a pole that was erected in 1928 at the time the Fort Rupert Kwakwaka'wakw were called to a great potlatch at Blunden Harbor. The eagle was carved by Willie Seaweed, the chief of the Nakwakdakw, and was said to be watching for the arriving tribe. It is carved of red cedar and painted in black, red, yellow, and white. Much of the paint has weathered away, but enough remains to suggest its original appearance. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)

This mask was made by Joe Seaweed, son of artist Willie Seaweed. The mask expresses what might be surprise or delight, with raised brows and round, open mouth. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)

This mask was made by Joe Seaweed, son of artist Willie Seaweed. The character expressed by the little smile and drooping brows suggests innocent, perhaps even gullible wonder. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
