Here is what I found about Bill J. Wilson: "Bill J. Wilson was Tlingit Chief of the Choo Ka Na Dee Clan. He was born at Dundas Bay, Alaska in his parent's fishing camp. Raised in Hoonah, where he was a fisherman, trapper and hunter all of his life, he learned the art of carving totem poles and engraving bracelets from his father, Jacob. In the 1940's, with the encouragement of his wife Elsie, he began to take his engraving seriously and his pieces became highly sought after by national dignitaries such as Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower. Mr. Wilson has since passed away but his art continues to live on" "Sterling Silver by Bill J. Wilson. The Raven was the cultural hero of the Northwest Coast Native Americans. He was attributed with supernatural powers and could transform into any thing at any time. In his legendary antics, he loved to tease, cheat and trick other creatures, as well as the coastal people.
