Last year I was very lucky to be able to check off a bucket list item and spend a couple weeks on Haida Gawii working. I got to explore some of the forests and beaches of the islands, and getting to know the people who live and work there. One of the first things I learned was the Haida word for “thank you”, which is “haw’aa”. I had this idea for a card and when I came home I had to make it!
The first nations artist, Eugene Isaac, who created the sun stamp I used is not Haida, but Namgis and Kwakwaka’wakw, which is ironically one of the nations from the area I grew up in. I wish I could provide you a link or resource to get stamps like this, but I haven’t been able to find them again from when I found them on marketplace years ago. So instead, here’s another look at my cards…
