A behind the scenes look, as Lelooska's great nephew practices the Crooked Beak of Heaven. This is one of the three supernatural guardian birds. This mask was carved in 2017 by Tsungani with the generous support of the Optimist Club of NE Portland. In the coming year a Raven will be completing this group of masks.

Beautiful.
Wow!😯
Although most often presented as an educational program, these masks and dances are the culmination of years of practicing and learning, as each generation passes down these hereditary rights and privileges. This image captures Lelooska's great niece, during a practice with her mother, aunt and grandfather as she deepens her understanding of Echo.
