This presentation by master carver David A. Boxley and his son David R. Boxley was given prior to the unveiling of their monumental Tsimshian house front at SHI's Walter Soboleff Building in downtown Juneau, Alaska. The house front tells the Tsimshian story Am’ala: Wil Mangaa da Ha’lidzogat (Am’ala: He Who Holds up the Earth). At almost 40 feet wide by 15 feet high, it is thought to be the largest, carved-and-painted Tsimshian house front in the world. In the video, the Boxleys describe the house front and talk about the rules of formline, an art form shared by Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian people.
