Man Wearing Bear Hat

Man Wearing Bear Hat: This Tlingit grave marker was copied from Cat Island. It depicts a man of the Bear clan wearing a large carved wooden hat surmounted by a bear's head and surrounded on the brim by painted whales. The hat was worn at a potlatch or an important occasion during which stories were told or dramatized. Next Pole
