Publications
- Holm, Bill and Reid, Bill, Indian Art of the Northwest Coast: A Dialogue on Craftsmanship and Aesthetics, 1975, Institute of the Arts, Rice University, Houston, pp. 162-163, fig. 64: "HOLM: Beautifully made spruce-root hat...Nice painting all around in the classic style of an animal spread around the whole hat... REID: Beautiful shape. What really makes Northwest Coast art - from canoes to spoons to hats - is the essential form. Of all the elegant headwear conceived in the world, the spruce-root hat comes close to the best."
