On the remote northern coast of what is now British Columbia flourished from antiquity the Tsimshian Nation. This was a complex Aboriginal culture that evolved in the mists of the emerald coastal temperate rain forest. The dazzling Tsimshian arts embodied the mystical, the supernatural--evoking a time and a spirituality when people were more closely connected to nature and mother earth.

 

 The stunning artwork and imagery of the Tsimshian have now been blended with the most sophisticated jewelry techniques and design by master artist, Bill Helin. Bill is a member of the Gitchiis Tribe of the Tsimshian Nation. He is son of Hyemass-one of the most famous Tsimshian Chief warriors of ancient coastal legend. Bill has become internationally renowned for the refined quality of his work as an artist/designer, and his versatility in various artistic mediums.
