    Bill Helin is of #Tsimshian / #Norwegian decent and is a member of the Tsimshian Nation, born and raised in the Northwest Coastal community of Prince Rupert, BC. His father was Arthur Helin, his Grandfather Henry William Helin, was Chief of the Gitlan Tribe, and his Grandmother Maud Helin, was Chief of the Gitgeese Tribe. Bill spent many hours listening to his grandmother in wonder, as she told him many Legends of the Tsimshian People. By the time he was three, he was already drawing and it wasn't long before he was amusing his family, friends and teachers with caricatures and cartoons. For the most part Bill is a self-taught artist. He learned from books, and was soon mastering techniques such as three-dimensional forming, called repousse. In the 1980’s Bill was sponsored to go to K'San, BC's famous #IndianArt and Carving School in Hazelton. In February 1988, Bill attended the renowned Gemology Institute of America in Santa Monica, California, completing advanced courses in gold smithing and gem setting. Today he lives and works from his studio/home on Vancouver Island.

    Bill spent most of his career, which started in 1979, carving traditional Tsimshian wood carving, jewelry and paintings. His art has evolved from creating large wood projects such as a 40 foot long Ravensong Canoe in 1993 and working on the world’s tallest totem pole with Richard Krentz in 1994, to illustrating children’s story books and working on many animation projects. Other projects include working with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency to design three mission patches as well as some education materials.

  5. Just returned from an incredible weekend in #Hallingdal with #norwegian #rallydakar legend Pål Anders Ullevålseter. He teached us on how to properly ride on gravel, mud, sand and other demanding trail conditions.
    Quite exhausted but happy and I have learned so much.

  6. 📚 📚 Finished OE Rölvaag's Giants in the Earth - The Norwegian American author's novel on pioneer life in the Dakota Territory based on the experiences of his, and his wife's own families.
    This book was absolutely dependent on the last few pages as to how I would feel about it ... For me, almost any other ending would have left me frustrated by the journey the story took. 📚📚

  7. Do you read #Norwegian or #Spanish? My colleague José María Izquierdo Paredes writes about the #CorpusHermeticum of which we just digitized two copies from our #SpecialCollections at the #UniversityOfOslo library: enmitg.com/wordpress/?p=2345.
    There's some #DanBrown #TheDaVinciCode references in there, too. In the blog post, that is ;)
