3 bronze masks were installed in Juneau, Alaska, during the
Sealaska Heritage Institute SHI held a dedication ceremony on April 22 for the first 12 totem poles of Kootéeyaa Deiyí (Totem Pole Trail) and the installation of bronze masks at Heritage Plaza by SHI's arts campus honoring the five major Native groups of Alaska.
The Faces of Alaska installation will feature comments from the master artists commissioned to make the masks. Four of the masks represent the Inupiat, Yup’ik, Alutiiq and the Athabascan and one mask represents the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian. Three of the masks will be installed prior to the ceremony and two will be installed later.
Faces of Alaska
The ceremony will also mark the unveiling of Faces of Alaska, a spectacular monumental art installation at the Sealaska Heritage Arts Campus featuring bronze masks that represent Alaska’s five major Native groups, including the Inupiat, Yup’ik, Alutiiq and Athabascan. The fifth group will be a combination of the Southeast tribes, Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian, because they are culturally interrelated.
The pieces were made by artists Perry Eaton (Sugpiaq/Alutiiq), Lawrence Ahvakana (Iñupiaq), Drew Michael (Yup’ik) and Kathleen Carlo-Kendall (Koyukon Athabaskan). Tsimshian artist John Hudson made a bronze mask that represents the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian.
