Kingcome Copper

At the end of the Kingcome Inlet is an impressive modern day pictograph in the shape of a traditional native 'copper'

The artwork is high up on a cliff face above the water and is 28 feet high and 38 feet wide. 

It was a creation of Native artist Mariane Nicolson. 



 In the same area of the inlet we spotted some older (1927) pictographs depicting coppers and cows. These images were apparently commemorating a potlatch of that time period.
