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.

Heesh-kaa was said to be a very strong man who was Usymch (Spiritual bathing) at his sacred pool when a Sasquatch (wild man) tried drowning him by holding his head in the water. It was though his medicine and spiritual beliefs that saved him. He went on to be one of the most successful whale hunters of his tribe.
