Komokwa is of major importance in Northwest Coast First Nations oral tradition. He is King of the Undersea World, and master and protector of the Seals, who were a symbol of wealth. His name means "Rich One." Komokwa rules from a great house under the water. His house contains immense wealth in blankets, coppers, and other treasures. Many human supplicants of legendary history tried to reach this kingdom and those ancestral heroes who achieved their goal became wealthy and powerful, returning to their home village with magical boxes full of treasure.
Randy Stiglitz
Randy’s family moved to the Capilano Indian Reserve at the age of eight and he began carving at the age of fifteen under the guidance of local artists. He later moved to Victoria for four years, learning the Kwakwaka'wakw and Coast Salish styles, and working with wood carvers at Thunderbird Park.
In 2007, Randy took part in the 'Sharing Myths' exhibition at the Ohio Cultural Center. Randy credits Henry Hunt Sr. as being the single biggest influence in his unique carving style. Though he is most known for his mask carving, he also makes panels, bowls and boxes. Randy has now been carving for 38 years and is a highly regarded Coast Salish artist.
