This Dsonoqua (Dzunuk’wa) mask by Gordon Clayton of the Nisga'a Nation draws on a central figure from the mythologies of many Kwakwaka’wakw-speaking peoples: the wild woman of the woods.
Though the artist’s specific tribal affiliation is not documented, the elongated features, open mouth, and stylized eyes echo Northwest Coast conventions in portraying this powerful being, who is both feared and respected as a guardian of the forest and a bringer of wealth and spiritual power.
