Drifted Ashore House is the name of a Tlingit clan from Tongass, Alaska and speaks to Klatle-bhi’s family lineage. It was a Tlingit woman from this clan that married a Kwakiutl man, and was lineage to the Hunt family of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation; the lineage of Klatle-bhi’s family. The panel is a representation of the long history he has to the Tlingit people, and this clan in particular, with the two faces on the panel meant to represent the male and female ancestors and balance of that line.
"This my interpretation of a Tlingit House from Alaska that I come from. It’s a testament for many of us who have ties back to this sacred place. Through my Grandmother’s lineage, and many others. The strength and culture that is still being passed down through generations still exists, to this day." - Klatle-bhi
