EAGLE Eagle is an extremely important being, appearing prominently within the art and oral traditions of Northwest Coast Peoples, and is respected for its intelligence, power, wisdom, and noble nature. Eagle feathers are considered to be sacred. It is believed that they possess special healing powers, which can be harnessed by a shaman. They are also utilized in a variety of ceremonial and ritual contexts, such as honoring a respected guest. Along the northern regions of the coast, Eagle and Raven are thought to be close companions and serve as alter egos to 1 another. Although the trickster Raven is better known, largely due to the tales of his exploits, he and Eagle are technically equals. RUPERT SCOW Birth Place: Alert Bay, British Columbia. Birth Date: 1957 Affiliation: Kwakwaka’wakw The Scow family, known as “The people of the Bear” are from the village of Gwayasdums on Gilford Island. The Scow’s claim the Bear and Sisiutl, or double headed sea serpent, as family crests. Rupert comes from a long line of carvers and respected elders, including his great grandfather Mungo Martin and great grandfather Chief Johnny Scow. Rupert has 5 brothers, all of whom are exceptional carvers. Under the guidance of Wayne Alfred, Vince Shaughnessy, and Stephen Bruce, Rupert began carving cedar in 1991, creating masks, rattles, bowls, poles and transformation masks. Having mastered the art of woodcarving, Rupert completed the Native Education Center’s jewelry course in 2008, and now volunteers his time teaching aspiring 1st Nations carvers in the lower mainland.
