Jamie Paul Daniels (Taat Xaa Nii)
See:
Wood Carvings
For Jamie Daniels,
carving is more than a skill, or even an art. It is a process of connection
- to his family, his teachers, his future, and to the culture of his
community.
Raised in Angoon, Alaska, Jamie's Tlingit name is Taat Xaa Nii (Night
Madness). He is Raven-Beaver, a child of the Eagle-Shark clan, a grandchild
of the Killer Whale clan, and a great grandchild of the Eagle-Bear clan. He
is the son of his father, G’eek, and his mother, Shteiwooteen.
He is also at the front of an effort to revitalize traditional carving in
the Tlingit Native village of Angoon, a place where culture and modernity
often complement each other, and just as often appear to clash.
