lu̓ḷ́x:lu̓ḷgḷís is our Heiltsuk word for “the Milky Way”

THIS BOX IS NOW SOLD. FINAL BID $800.00

Every year I look forward to the annual Lattimer charity box fundraiser. This year I chose to depict the Milky Way because I started to work on the box late one evening. As I was searching for inspiration in the stars the Milky Way was visible directly above me so that’s what I decided to paint on this years box.
