The Gitxsan wilp (house) Simoogit (chief) would like to commission a Tsimshian ‘copper’ style sign using the same format as numerous existing signs in Gitxsan territory referred to as the ‘hand of history’ <a href="http://www.hazeltonstourism.ca/hands-of-history.html">http://www.hazeltonstourism.ca/hands-of-history.html</a>. It appears to me they may be cast aluminum, about ½ inch think with raised lettering, border and adzed style marks. I have checked with the local government (Hazelton and Regional District of Kitimat Stikine) who all agree it was a regional district led project but no one knows who produced them. Any leads on who did, or could, produce this style of sign would be most appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Aaron Trowbridge<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:Aaron.Trowbridge@gov.bc.ca">Aaron.Trowbridge@gov.bc.ca</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br />
