	Civilization.ca - Bill Reid - Biography
		Bill Reid was born in Victoria, B.C., in 1920.
		Reid learned that his grandfather had been a carver of argillite and an engraver of silver bracelets; Gladstone had probably learned these skills from his uncle, the great nineteenth-century Haida sculptor Charles Edenshaw, whose tools he inherited, and whom Reid subsequently adopted as his culture-hero.
		The resulting carvings, through which Reid essentially taught himself the craft of pole-making, were completed in 1962 and are now outdoor exhibits at the UBC Museum of Anthropology.

	The Respect To Bill Reid Pole
		In replacing the pole that Bill and Doug Cranmer raised here in 1962 with Jim Hart's pole in honour of Bill, we are adhering somewhat to that tradition.
		In restoring Bill's pole for eventual placement in the Great Hall in the Museum of Anthropology, we are going against Haida tradition somewhat, but we are doing something in the spirit of the great rescue of the poles at Ninstints in 1957.
		Bill was part of that rescue team that eventually brought some of the old poles to the museums, here and in Victoria.

	Civilization.ca - Bill Reid - Quotations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		"Bill Reid's role in the restoration of West Coast art may be described as a process of self-discovery, of finding his own creative center in the roots of tradition, and of growing and developing outward from that cultural core."
		For Reid that place became consolidated with the Raven's emerging character as the original wunderkind whose world-shaping, wonder-making transformations had nothing to do with pious good intentions but emerged from an improbable but fortuitous creative intuition coupled with a detached and open self-interest.
		Reid's revival of traditional Haida art, an accomplishment remarkable enough in itself, was a pebble in the pool, engendering widening circles of consequence.

	Bill Reid
		Reid's reputation as an artist derives in part from the pivotal role he has played in the rebirth of northern art.
		Thus Reid was the first Northern artist born in the twentieth century to comprehend the formal rules of this complex intellectualized art tradition, the principles of which had been lost to the few remaining Haida artists who practiced their craft in argillite and silver.
		Bill Reid was widely honored in his life and, as has been suggested by the Canadian press, will certainly retain his renown not only because he was a significant artist but also because of his personal charisma and star-power as an individual.
