Pretty awesome night working with my amazing wife @miqueldangeli we meet apprenticing under the same master carver. I love that my wife can not only carve and produce art, she can keep up with me and work as hard as I do!! Make me fall in love with her all over again ❤️#alaskanative #alaskanativeart #aboriginal #aboriginalart #bcfirstnations #cedar #firstnations #firstnationsart #houseofculture #mikedangeli #miqueldangeli #nisgaa #nisgaaart #tsimshian #tsimshianart #tsetsaut #tsetsautart #vancity #vancouver #vancouverbc #teamdangeli #totempole #roadtogingolix #roadtogramspotlatch #gramspotlatch #potlatch #potlatchmode #potlatch2017 #gingolix #gingolix2017 #westcoast #westcoastart (at Mike Dangeli Nisga'a Artist)

When my Grandma passed I never made time to honour the tradition of cutting our hair. To commentate our end of mourning and hosting my 20th potlatch I cut my hair short for the first time in 7years. Cutting it my hair to let go of my hurt and sadness of the loss of our families matriarch. My new hair growth will be new memories also the new changes and new responsibilities our family takes on as we step out and host for the first time with out Grandma. So thankful for her and Gramps teachings. #teamdangeli #gramspotlatch #roadtogingolix #roadtogramspotlatch #gingolix #gingolix2017 #beaverclan #beaverfeast #beaverpotlatch (at Man Cave Barber Shop Metrotown)
