Gwalkwamł - Deaf Man Mask
This dance mask represents the history of a man from the Mamalilikala. His family and fellow chiefs wanted him to uphold his chiefly position and host a feast. Because he would not listen to them, they felt that they had no choice but to kill him. This story is still told today through a dance that is performed by the families of his tribe. Look for the Deaf Man mask being danced in the film playing this gallery.
