My name is Kody. I am a Kermode Bear. I live with my family in the remote rain forests of British Columbia. The natives refer to us as Spirit Bear. They believe that Raven, Creator of the World, made one of every 10 of us white as a reminder of the glacial age and so we could bring peace to the World. We are also known as Ghost Bear as we are seldom seen and disappear deep into the forest. If the logging and development continues to destroy our habitat, we may disappear forever!

Born and raised in Merrit, British Columbia, James became interested in native art at the age of sixteen. Through extensive travels in Western Canada as a self employed musician he was able to meet many different artists and observe their work. In 1994 he was employed at a log home company acquiring experience with chisels and sharpening techniques. He soon started carving and painting. James became interested in Bent Cedar Boxes by the age of thirty. Within a few months he was steaming and bending wood. James has been an active member of the Penticton Metis Association since March 2000. |
