Henry Robertson
"Though almost 67, Henry Robertson still bears a small decades-old scar on the palm of his hand, a legacy of the time a residential school supervisor bent on putting an end to his native carving hobby drove a pencil into it.
It didn't work - Robertson never stopped. Today, instead of being punished for his artistry, he's celebrated for it."
The Vancouver Courier. May 13, 2002.
As a member of the Kenano Kitlope and Haisla band, Henry's works have been and continue to be, displayed all over the world.
