This design was created in memory of Eugene Hunt, "Namukwialis", meaning "A Man with No Equal". The wolf design is from Eugene's mother, Emma Hunt, who owned the "Spinning Wolf" dancer from her father, Chief Dr. Billy of the house of Tsuwana at Friendly Cove.
The Sun crest in the middle of the design was given by the Alfred family of the Namgis Tribe, to Eugene's parents, Chief Thomas and Emma Hunt, as a dowry when they married. The Raven is the main crest of the Hunt family, descending from Eugene's great-grandmother, Marry Ebbits, who was a Tlingit princess from Tongas, Alaska.
This design was created by Calvin Hunt with the assistance of John Livingston. It is hand produced by the screenprinting process, on Stonehenge Cover White paper, size: 24 x 76.5 cm., image size: 17 x 70.5 cm.
