  • Nicholas Galanin (b. 1979) is an artist of Tlingit ancestry who lives and works in Sitka, Alaska. Trained through apprenticeship and formal study in wood carving, metalwork, and tool making, he uses a range of media, including sculpture and video, to expand his own practice and investigate how “Northwest Coast art” is situated in relation to cultural values, contemporary issues, and global art worlds. His new work, Raven and the First Immigrant, is on display on the patio just outside the Bill Reid Rotunda, directly facing Reid's iconic sculpture, The Raven and the First Men.
