The Hummingbird Sticker: Welcome to Formline Evolved where Wéidaaká Yóodóohaa shares his passion for formline art, a unique and ancient style of the Native people of the Northwest Coast of North America. Wéidaaká Yóodóohaa (Bill Pfeifer, Jr) is a Tlingit tribal member from southeast Alaska. He currently lives in Washington, but he still feels a strong connection to his culture and his homeland. His father is an artist and he taught him the basics of formline design, which expresses the stories, values and beliefs of the Tlingit people. Wéidaaká Yóodóohaa also had the privilege of studying under Nathan Jackson, a renowned Tlingit master carver, who has done totem pole carvings with his father. The Socks: The "Renewal" design, which is characteristic of the woodlands floral tradition, tells the story of physical and spiritual renewal. It honors the land through representations of the wild plum flower, the water through our beloved wild rice, and healing through the dogwood flower, which is used to create traditional tobacco.

The Socks: Adapted from Nooksack artist Louie Gong's beautiful Coast Salish Pattern Wool Blanket design, these vibrant crew socks are the perfect way to rock bold Coast Salish art on the go! He often refers to the pattern as a "collaboration with the ancestors," as it was created after researching traditional Coast Salish weaving.

Vintage Navajo Sandpaint
$10

Starting bid

Navajo Sandpaint of yei-bei-chai- known as medicine man, who dances during ceremony by Ernest Hunt. Ernest Hunt is a well known Navajo Sandpainter The Navajo word for sandpainting means "place where the gods come and go." The sandpainting has been used for centuries in religious rituals, including healing ceremonies performed by Navajo medicine men. A sandpainting for a ceremony is made on the ground in the ceremonial hogan and destroyed at the end of the ritual. In order to preserve this long-standing tradition, in the late 1940's Navajos began to create permanent sandpaintings, changing the design slightly to protect the religious significance when these paintings were shown publicly. Pictorial sandpaintings which reflect the Navajo environment and lifestyle are also made
