Description
Content description from Worldcat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/joe-david-spirit-of-the-mask/oclc/59729045):
A profile of West Coast native artist Joe David who has become one of the strong contemporary links in the preservation and re-invention of the art of the Northwest Coast. The film follows the creative process of carving a wolf headdress from a block of cedar to its ultimate use as a ceremonial mask worn by the artist himself in a haunting dance which ends the film.
