From Denise: "This design comes from a mask carved by both Eskimo and Athabascan natives. The idea of the woman in the moon reminds us of our sister who became the moon. The designs on the cheeks or chins were added by our neighbors, the Athabascans. We have included these designs in our work. This design is one of the pieces I have worked with for some time. The first "Woman in the Moon" reminded me of my grandmother. As a result, I think of her through the design."

From Denise: "This bracelet represents the Killer Whale and Wolf Transformation story. A friend’s uncle had seen Killer Whales who transformed themselves into wolves and crawled on the land. Killer Whales and wolves have similar lifestyles; they live and hunt in family pods or packs, staying together fro extended periods of time, and they mate for life. They both have a hierarchical system with the family."
