Celebrated
world-wide for his exemplary representations of his Gitksan culture,
Ron Sebastian has produced a myriad of pieces that can be appreciated
for their authentic values. Wood is his favourite medium, and his wood
carvings have demonstrated that his carvings are precisely what he wants
to share with the world, and he has done so.
His
most celebrated pieces include a large three piece mural at the
department headquarters of the Department of Indian Affairs in Ottawa,
Ontario, Canada, the president's and chancellor's chairs and mace/talking
stick at the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George,
BC, and a talking stick presented by MacMillan Bloedel to Princess Diana.
Also, a totem pole carved with his brother, Robert, was donated to the
Montreal Expos during the festivities of the National Baseball League's
All-Star Game in 1982, held in Montreal, Quebec (first time ever played
outside of the continental USA).
