content: Ian Reid (Heiltsuk) of the delegation from Bella Bella, Bella Coola and Rivers Inlet communities of British Columbia made the following comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit May 20th - 24th, 2013. This model is possibly a feast dish and a prime example of a classic head canoe. It appears to be made by a person of Tlingit origin though it contains classic Bella Bella designs and sculpting. This object was probably made to be sold.
