When I was in my teen, ca 1980, my father first showed me the carving and a book about argillite carvings, history, source, and the Haida Tribe in Haida Gwaii, then the Queen Charlotte Islands. He told me my grandfather acquired the carving on one of this three trips from Pt. Townsend to the Yukon during the Gold Rush era, likely 1898-1900.

Born in Wapato, Washington, Rabena began carving in the Northwest Coast style in 1970 and later studied at the Kitanmax School of Northwest Coast Art at K’san in British Columbia during 1975-1976. He was adopted into the Eagle Clan by Hereditary Haida Chief Claude Davidson in 1987, a testament to his deep connection to Indigenous artistic traditions despite being non-Indigenous by birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis masks are highly sought after by collectors and galleries, often featuring intricate designs that blend traditional Northwest Coast elements with his unique illustrative style. Rabena’s works frequently incorporate natural materials like cedar, horsehair, and acrylic paint, and they reflect the spirit of the subjects he portrays—whether human faces, animals, or mythological figures. Some notable examples of his masks include a 1977 Northwest Coast mask made of painted carved wood and horsehair, a 1991 Dragonfly Mask with wood and hair, and a 1993 Flicker mask adorned with cedar strip hair. These pieces showcase his skill in capturing both cultural significance and artistic beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRabena’s masks vary in size and complexity, often signed and dated, and have been featured in auctions and private collections worldwide. His time as an artist-in-residence at the Headlands Centre for the Arts in San Francisco in 1990, alongside Haida master carver Reg Davidson, further honed his craft, contributing to the depth and authenticity of his work. Today, living on Hornby Island, British Columbia, he continues to create pieces that honor the traditions he’s been entrusted with while adding his personal flair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45878023651493,"sku":"250310-05","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/s725348264778838518_p14086_i12_w758.jpg?v=1757348013"},{"product_id":"haida-cedar-basket","title":"Haida Cedar Basket","description":"\u003cp\u003eLate 19th - Early 20th Century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8.75\" H x 9\" x 10\" D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-b88u0q r-1x3r274\" style=\"color: black; background-color: transparent; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\" style=\"color: black; background-color: transparent; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\" style=\"color: black; background-color: transparent; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\" style=\"color: black; background-color: transparent; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003eHaida twined basketry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\" style=\"color: black; background-color: transparent; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\" style=\"color: black; background-color: transparent; font-family: sans-serif;\"\u003e is a traditional Northwest Coast Indigenous weaving art form practiced by the Haida people of Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia) and the Kaigani Haida in southeastern Alaska.
