It is thought that this print features two lodge poles that were on display at the Burke Museum of Natural History & Culture in Seattle for many years. The poles depict the story of Kaats' and they were stolen from the Gaash Village in Cape Fox, Alaska, as part of the Harriman Alaska Expedition in 1899. In 2001, these two poles were part of a major repatriation case whereby they were returned to the Saanya Kwáan Tlingit people of Cape Fox. Helmi Juvonen (1903-1985) was a Seattle artist and a member of the Northwest school. Her parents were Finnish immigrants whose family moved to Seattle in 1918 where she attended Queen Anne High School and Cornish College of the Arts. Helmi is best known for her prints, paintings, and drawings, and she had an interest in Native art as shown in this woodcut.
