Group of Seven artist's portrait of a Tsimshian chief finds its way home after almost 90 years

A print of the black and white portrait of Kitselas hereditary chief Samuel Wallace hangs in the Kitselas Treaty Office. A single red accent was painted onto the drawing of his headdress in 1926. The drawing was done by Group of Seven artist Edwin Holgate.

Cyril Bennett-Nabess, a recent art school grad from Northwest Community College had no idea the drawing existed until recently. Now, it's a reminder in his office of his history--and we get the story of the drawing, Chief Samuel Wallace and how the Kitselas Treaty Office came to find out about the portrait.
