Biografía

His uncle was a hereditary chief on the north island.

He was the Chief of the Haida at Masset having succeeded his uncle after killing a rival claimant. The name comes from a Tlingit word for "melting ice from a glacier - or wasting away, nothing left of it - waterfall." He was responsible for saving the crew of the Susan Sturgiss in 1852 when it was looted by natives.
