'In the Spirit of the Ancestors'-This robe is believed to be the first robe woven of mountain goat wool in Washington State in the 20th century. By the early 20th century, traditional mountain goat wool robes had been replaced by commercial trade blankets. Fran James and her son Bill have been instrumental in reviving and continuing the traditional weaving and basketry skills of the Lummi people.

Cedar bark to be used in the Tseyka, the Kwakwaka'wakw Winter Ceremonial, was dyed an orange-red with the inner bark of the red alder. This dyed bark was used alone or mixed with undyed bark to form red and pale buff stripes or patterns according to the traditional arrangement for each Tseyka participant. Principal participants wore cedar bark neck rings as part of their insignia: some of them simple lengths of shredded bark tied into a loop and hung with bark tassels, some plied into red or candy-striped ropes, and others of varying degrees of elaboration in twisted, wrapped, and plaited work. This triple neck ring is one of the most elaborate. (Holm, Spirit and Ancestor, 1987)

Bugwis, the Merman, is represented in this miniature mask, an example of the small carvings made in great numbers today by the Kwakwaka'wakw for sale in souvenir outlets. The mask can be identified as Bugwis by its large rodent-like incisors and the browline merging in a downward sweep with the nose. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
