The bold image of a grizzly bear, a favorite image of Reid’s that he used in paintings, carvings, and jewelry, is on the reverse side of the new commemorative coin. He was also a gifted mentor who championed Haida causes throughout his life. Through his mother, Reid was a member of the K’aadasga Kiigawaay Raven Wolf Clan of T’aanuu. Reid is known as Xhuwaji, Haida Grizzly Bear. Reid painted the image in 1988 on a ceremonial drum belonging to the Sam family of Ahousat, BC.
