Of Haida descent, he is a master carver of totem poles and masks and also works as a printmaker, painter, and jeweller. A leading figure in the renaissance of Haida art and culture, he is renowned as an impeccable craftsman whose creative and personal interpretation of traditional Haida form is unparalleled.

He holds honourary degrees from the University of Victoria, Simon Fraser University, Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design, and the Southern Methodist University in Texas.
