The people thought that when the uninitiated or untrained had contact with the spirits, or with places or objects of great power, the result could be physical or spiritual harm. They also believed that evil spirits were the cause of sickness.

Boxley\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is Eagle Clan of the Alaskan Tsimshian from Metlakatla, Alaska. Born January 19, 1952, he was raised by his grandparents. From them, he learned many Tsimshian traditions including the language. His grandfather was a canoe carver. After high school he attended Seattle Pacific University where he received a bachelor of science degree in 1974. He became a teacher and basketball coach to Junior and Senior high students in Alaska and Washington.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile teaching in Metlakatla in 1979, he began devoting considerable time to the study of traditional Tsimshian carving. Through researching ethnographic material and carvings housed in museum collections, Boxley learned the traditional carving methods of his grandfathers’ people. In 1986, he made a major career decision to leave the security of teaching and to devote all of his energies toward carving and researching the legacy of Northwest Coast Indian art.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDavid Boxley is the first Alaskan Tsimshian carver to achieve national prominence; He is particularly well respected as a totem pole carver, having carved 46 poles in the last 25 years.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAs well, David has been deeply involved in the rebirth of Tsimshian culture through the Potlatch. In 1982, he held a Potlatch in Metlakatla. During that event he raised a totem pole to honor his grandparents. This pole was the first totem pole ever to be raised in Metlakatla. Soon after that, he started to compose new songs and dances for the newly created 4th Generation Dance group in Metlakatla.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Smithsonian’s Museum of the American Indian commissioned a totem pole that now permanently stands in the foyer of the Museum.

She stated, “For the past 20 years I have been researching Haida designs in my local communities, and transforming this knowledge into garments.” Grant’s strong connection to her cultural heritage and deepened sense of Haida identity is the creative force behind her Feastwear and Dorothy Grant labels.
