Tsimshian Eagle: A Culture Bearer's Journey

By David A. Boxley and Steve Quinn

Raised by his grandparents in the tiny village of Metlakatla, Alaska, David A. Boxley thought he was going to be a teacher and a basketball coach. Already on that path, he faced a choice: a secure teaching job in his hometown or a move to Seattle, where he would pursue an uncharted path and become a full-time Tsimshian artist, ultimately leading a revival of culture, art, dance, and song. "It's strange. I had to move from my traditional village to become a traditional carver and cultural leader."

Tsimshian Eagle chronicles Boxley's life and art through images and interviews. What emerges is a boundlessly creative, restless man who has dedicated his life to keeping Tsimshian culture alive.
