Nice! Maybe consider a feature on the fabulous Haida artist Bill Reid.

Their fiscal meritocracy system was intriguing. It's interesting to see how human beings place value on objects / each other across cultures and time.
I can only imagine having an object like this as a modern-day mailbox. Sports teams, video game characters, and religious symbols in lieu of animals, lol.
