It is definitely Pacific Northwest in style, and to me the style could be Haida rather than, for instance, Tlingit or Coastal Salish. But I never meant a specific Haida group, after all, not only artists travel, but second hand things travel with their owners, who might even have bought them somewhere far from their place of origin.</p><p>I met some Haida artists in Vancouver, Canada. Not Haida Gwaii, not Alaska. Carmen Goertzen (Haida) told me he lived in Australia for a while. And in the 70s I found some lovely Kwakiutl and Coastal Salish jewelry in a second hand silver shop in The Netherlands. I never thought for a minute that they were made by the Amsterdam branches of Kwakiutl and Coastal Salish<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
