Killer Whale Bentwood Box WarriorThis Bentwood Box was hand painted in acrylic by Kwakwakwa'wakw artist Jessica Chickite of the We Wai Kai First Nation. The box was created from a single plank of yellow cedar with a red cedar base and lid featuring thirty six abalone inlays. The Orca or Killer Whale symbolizes family, romance, longevity, harmony, travel, community and protection. He is said to protect those who travel away from home, and to lead them back when the time comes. Orcas
