| Artist: Mike Webber Custom Native Trim |
Born of a rich Alutiiq and Tlingit ancestry, Michael Webber grew up living the
cycles of fishing, hunting, and harvesting the wealth of the Copper River Delta in
Cordova, Alaska, where his ancestry reaches back to the first footsteps in this
region. Shaped by his passions for commercial fishing, traditional Native arts, and
a deep respect for the land and its resources, Mike’s heritage and the culture of his
surroundings are woven into all aspects of his art. Totems, masks, and other
spectacular samples of Mike’s traditional and contemporary Alaskan woodcarvings
are on display at: alaskacarving.com Embodying the rich Native history of this
land and its people, Mike designed this trim exclusively for Copper River Fleece, a
homegrown Cordova company. We are excited and extremely fortunate to offer
this uniquely Alaskan trim, designed by such a talented & renowned artist.

Emblazoned with Eagle, Raven, Killer Whale, and Beaver Clans’ crests, this trim
tells the story of traditional Tlingit influences stretching from Southeast Alaska
to the Copper River. According to Mike, “The Eagle and Raven are positioned in
the center, representing their status as the largest and most powerful clans. Talon,
wing, and human head forms surround the Eagle, in accordance with traditional
Tlingit design. Known as the Wise One, the Raven is believed to have created the
earth, sun, moon, animals, and all other life forms. Tying the sea to the land and its
people, the Killer Whale meshes fins, tail, and human form. The Beaver Clan was
known for its powerful chiefs and shamans, whose strength is evident in the
oversized pair of incisors, tail, and beaver head.” In this vibrant trim, Mike
brilliantly weaves ancestral totems of Tlingit culture, handed down through
generations.
