"Inspired by the intricate beauty of Naaxiin, this print is a celebration of Maat (Mountain Goat). Our people have long recognized the value and quality of Maat’s wool, and have been weaving the finest regalia with it for centuries. By giving its wool, Maat weaves together the lives of the many people involved in the extensive process of creating Naaxiin regalia. Hunters, weavers, bark harvesters, formline artists and dancers alike. The intricacy of the weaving, accomplished by the formidable skill of the artist, pays the highest respect to Maat as great robes, aprons, leggings, headpieces and pouches adorn our people and come to life in sacred ceremony."

Cori grew-up in Gatineau, Quebec and it was there that her mother introduced her to her Haida heritage, through visits to the Canadian Museum of History. After spending most of her childhood and adolescence in Quebec, she moved to Haida Gwaii in 2001. Between 2003 and 2006, she honed her drawing and carving skills, and completed several design workshops with acclaimed Haida artist, Robert Davidson. In 2007, Cori received a YVR Art Foundation Youth Scholarship which enabled her to study under Robert’s brother, Reg Davidson. Another highlight of her young career was dancing in the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. In 2012, Cori was again recognized by the YVR Art Foundation, winning the Frank O’Neill Visionary Award for her cultural vision and artistic determination.
