My genetic makeup largely comes from England, from Norway, from the Pentlatch and from the Kwaguł and the ‘Na̱mg̱is of the Kwakwaka’wakw. Some of my ancestors fought in the War of the Roses, the War of Independence and the American Civil War. Some were literally Kings and Queens of England, while many many more were peasants trying to find a way to survive. Many were nobility amongst our people here and some were even slaves. I have a very rich history and as I think back in time, my mind becomes lost in these oceans of wealth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen the first Europeans set foot on these territories, they were confronted with a rich and complex economic system centered on the potlatch. Interest-bearing loans were a regular and frequent activity amongst my ancestors. Shield-like items--called “t̕łaḵwa”--made from native copper were used to build up wealth. The “copper” was composed of three main parts: the “u’gwa̱mi” (upper part or face), the ”ga’lasi” (crosspiece, backbone or T) and the “uxsti” (lower sides or ribs). When a chief wished to insult his rivals, he would break a corner off his copper and present the broken segment to his enemy. The onus would be on the rival to return a piece of equal or greater value in order to save face. Coppers used in many quarrels would only have the T-shaped backbone remaining to represent its role in the oceans of wealth.\u003cbr\u003e-Andy Everson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e17\" x 22\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andy Everson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16376069701,"sku":"EVE089","price":330.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/2465\/products\/oceans_of_wealth_large_2f39ca67-d9a7-4a38-984f-faeace6a5f50.jpg?v=1754682139"},{"product_id":"framed-art-card-heritage-6-x-9","title":"Art Card - Heritage (Whale Glacier)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOverlooking the Comox Valley, sits the majestic Comox Glacier.

Andy has also had the honour of being seated with the ‘Na̱mg̱is T̓sit̓sa̱ł'walag̱a̱me' name of Ḵ̓wa̱mxa̱laga̱lis I'nis. Influenced heavily by his grandmother, he has always been driven to uphold the traditions of both the K’ómoks and Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw First Nations. In this regard, Andy has pursued avenues where he can sing traditional songs and perform ceremonial dances at potlatches and in a number of different dance groups, most notably the Le-La-La Dancers, the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGwa'wina Dancers\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand the K’umugwe Dancers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePursuing other areas of traditional culture has also led Andy to complete a Master’s degree in anthropology. Because the K’ómoks First Nation lies on the border between the larger Salish and Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw realms, his thesis focused on notions and expressions of contemporary Comox identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough he began drawing Northwest Coast art at an early age, Andy's first serious attempt wasn’t until 1990 when he started designing and painting chilkat-style blankets for use in potlatch dancing. From these early self-taught lessons, he has tried to follow in the footsteps of his Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw relatives in creating bold and unique representations that remain rooted in the age-old traditions of his ancestors. The ability to create and print most of his own work has allowed Andy to explore and express his ancestral artwork in a number of contemporary ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6\" x 9\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andy Everson","offers":[{"title":"Majestic","offer_id":44695405428962,"sku":"ISLAC526","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Serenity","offer_id":44695405461730,"sku":"ISLAC528","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Playful Journey","offer_id":44695405494498,"sku":"ISLAC530","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Summer's Dance","offer_id":46646116712674,"sku":"ISLAC633","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Breath","offer_id":46646116974818,"sku":"ISLAC609","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Flight","offer_id":44695405691106,"sku":"ISLAC552","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Farewell","offer_id":44695405756642,"sku":"ISLAC558","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Legacy","offer_id":44695405789410,"sku":"ISLAC560","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Northern Spirit","offer_id":46646117990626,"sku":"ISLAC608","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Protection","offer_id":44903209697506,"sku":"ISLAC631","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Shapeshifter","offer_id":44695406215394,"sku":"ISLAC682","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Perspective","offer_id":44695406248162,"sku":"ISLAC683","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Box Of Treasures IV","offer_id":44695406510306,"sku":"ISLAC722","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Equinox","offer_id":44903171391714,"sku":"ISLAC553","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Greeting The Day","offer_id":44903212941538,"sku":"ISLAC671","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Saltwater Splendor","offer_id":44909038272738,"sku":"ISLAC700","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Confessions to the Moon","offer_id":44695405658338,"sku":"ISLAC551","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silence","offer_id":44695405822178,"sku":"ISLAC607","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Witness","offer_id":44903200620770,"sku":"ISALC625","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dominion","offer_id":44903141245154,"sku":"ISLAC550","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Together","offer_id":44695405986018,"sku":"ISLAC622","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dreamtime","offer_id":44695405953250,"sku":"ISLAC621","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Cleansing","offer_id":44695405920482,"sku":"ISLAC611","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Stories","offer_id":44695405887714,"sku":"ISLAC610","price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/2465\/files\/andy-everson-stories-610.jpg?v=1754731195"},{"product_id":"framed-art-card-assorted-2","title":"Art Card - Sentinal (Eagle)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI love working in my studio in Comox!

Both Shałk̓am and Tisitł̓a had descended from the sky and appeared at a place called Kwaniwsam, or “resting place”. The sleepy eyes of the moon are a reference to Kwaniwsam.
