“We really feel it’s necessary because that's where the truth came out and where it all started.”
Days before Kwakiutl master carver Stan C. Hunt’s latest work began its ceremonial journey, his granddaughter Jade stepped up to the massive cedar artwork.
His granddaughter’s interaction with the memorial was powerful, said Hunt, adding Jade has some individual struggles of her own. On Friday, the monument began a tour south down Vancouver Island with stops in Port Hardy, Campbell River, Gold River and Nanaimo before arriving in Victoria on Tuesday. The raven and children’s faces washed in black to represent Canada’s dark history with Indigenous people, Hunt said.
