Eliasica Timmerman

A Northwest Coast Haida weaver specializing in traditional Haida cedar bark and spruce root weaving, I have dedicated over two decades to preserving and practicing ancestral weaving techniques. My formal education also includes Haida Language studies through Sealaska Heritage (2003–2009) and numerous cedar weaving workshops. A committed educator and award-winning artist, I have received numerous top honors at the Heard Museum Guild Indian Market and SWAIA Santa Fe Indian Market, with my work featured in major collections including the National Museum of the American Indian and the Chicago Field Museum. I continue to teach traditional weaving and language classes while creating museum-quality pieces that honor and sustain Indigenous cultural heritage.
