Beautiful Limited EditionPrint by the Kwakwakaw \'wakw First Nation Artist Francis Dick

\"Hamumu is Kwak\'wala for butterfly. In this drum designis a butterlfy, a crest worn by the late hereditary chief Arthur Dick, wholived in Alert Bay, and who passed away May 29, 1997.He was a man of greatness. I always marvelled at how he was in his relationshipswith his children, his grandchildren, his great-grandchildren, and all hisother relations.

This design is dedicated to Dayu (Arthur Dick) and hisfamily. The face withthe teardrop represents the grieving at the loss ofa great man. The heart in the design is the love I feel for Dayu and the legacyhe has left behind. The swirls in the design represent movement from this placeto the next and beyond to places we do notunderstand.

She is a descendant ofthe supernatural Wolf, Kawadelekala, who shed his animal form to become thefirst of the Kingcome people. Francis Dick spent the majority of her childhood in Alert Bay,off the northwest coast of Vancouver Island, and later moved to Victoria. She realizedearly that her true calling in life was to honour her artistic talents. Sincethe creation of her first aboriginal painting in 1985, much of Francis’s workhas contained images of her family’s Kawadelekala legend, acknowledging hercontemporary ties to her cultural heritage. Although Francis Dick expressesherself primarily through native paintings and prints, she also drums andsings—she became the first woman to join her tribe\'s bastion of all malesingers—and even wrote and produced a ceremonial performance at Victoria’sNewcombe Theatre. The performance, entitled “Wi’woma: Honouring the Spirit ofWomen,” was staged several years in a row due to ongoing praise and request.
