Transforming Frog Child is a clan hat with a young frog sitting on top. The piece represents raising our boys into respectful young men. The hat has two small painted designs on th e hat, front and back, known as salmon trout heads – in this case, the heads represent the boy’s caregiver watching over him. Barely noticeable, from behind the frog, the caregiver is watching his back for him, so the boy could continue looking forward without worry. I wanted to show the never-ending work caregivers put into their children. The chief is young, fore he has only earned one ermine for the top of his hat, but what an honour it was to receive such a gift. His eyes are of copper, to show that he only wants wealth for his people. Show more
