Animal Journey

Young children can learn shapes with the sorting toy Animal Journey from Native Northwest. Authenticity of art and design is Native Northwest's mission to build a connection to Indigenous cultures. Designed by Heiltsuk artist Ben Houstie from Bella Bella, BC, whale, wolf, raven, and eagle have a spot in the canoe.  With all four pieces in place, the toy doubles as a wood art piece.

• "Art is my language and an expression of who I am and where I come from. Sharing my culture helps to honour and preserve it " – Ben Houstie
