About the presenters

Alan Hunt is of Kwakwaka'wakw and Tlingit ancestry and currently resides in Alert Bay, BC. Hunt began art making and carving regularly in 2011. In 2013, he began a long-term apprenticeship under master carver Beau Dick, which lasted until Dick's death in early 2017. Like Beau Dick, Alan Hunt dedicates his practice to the promotion of Kwakwaka'wakw culture. Hunt has also enjoyed the great honor of being mentored by such esteemed master carvers as Wayne Alfred, Marcus Alfred, and Bruce Alfred.
