Ahtsik Native Art Gallery: Original Northwest Coast Indian Art
Come visit our beautiful Cedar gallery on the Pacific Rim highway heading out of Port Alberni towards Tofino (hwy 4) on Vancouver Island. Ahtsik Native Art Gallery opened December 13th 2008. I am, Gordon Dick, the Artist and Owner of Ahtsik Native Art Gallery. I carved the Kingfisher design of the front entrance as well as the Eagle and Wolf posts that represent my Grandparents. You are welcome to come and see me create original Northwest Coast Art inside the gallery. In warmer months, you can come and see larger Wood projects being carved just outside the gallery, such as a totem pole. I sell many other local First Nations Artists’ Canadian Indian Art work from World Renowned to up and coming. Commissions are accepted.

Kumugwe Sea Chief
Price: $2400
Artist: Raymond Shaw
Description: Kumugwe, under sea chief lives in a fabulous house made of copper planks and roof boards. He commands the lives of the significant sea creatures - whales, killer whales, sea lions, salmon, and herring. Some of these are his servants and attend to his every need, although they can, when appropriate, dissapear to their ancestral homes in the distant west. His visage is usually stern, with perhaps an air of benevolence. His name translates variously as Copper Maker or Wealthy, and he is indeed the source of copper for the mortal world, bestowing it and other powers upon those whom he favours. He travels about in a copper canoe, which moves without any apparent means of propulsion.
