Description
A visitor from Europe will be amazed to find a magnificent totem pole at the entrance to the Chose Manhatton Bank of New York in Tokyo, designed and carved by a Native American artist from the Gitksan tribe in British Columbia. Ken N. Mowatt, one of the West Coast's foremost sculptors, trained at the Northwest Coast Indian Art School in Hazelton. He uses the same material for his works as his ancestors on the Pacific, namely Virginia juniper, a tree whose wood is highly sought after for its resistance and resilience.
