A double finned killer whale is one of our family crests as we are from Chief Skedans’ family line. The killer whale is both protective and gentle depending on her environment. This double finned killer whale is blowing her last blow as she dives into stormy waves caused by big winds. As she submerges, the hand of our Ancestors reaches from the blow hole reminding us to not forget about our Ancestral knowledges and teachings while fighting the chaos colonization has brought us.

About the Artist

Jah! Gidhlahl-Gudsllaay han.uu dii kiiGa ga - “Hey! My name is Gidhlahl-Gudsllaay” and my English name is Robyn. I’m from HlGaagilda / Skidegate, Haida Gwaii and I identify as a lesbian. I am living on Treaty 1 (Fraserwood, MB) and have always been inspired by the regalia my Nanaay (Grandmother) created. She didn’t always have access to Ancestral art supplies and I have always admired how she could make something from nothing. One of my goals is to continue learning about and making art that connects me to my Nanaay and our Ancestral lands.
