Terry Starr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Terry Starr is a Tsimshian Nation artist from the Gispaxlo'ots tribe of British Columbia, Canada.
Starr's mother was from Kitsumkalum of the Eagle Clan, and his father was from Lax Kw'alaams, or the town of Port Simpson of the Killerwhale clan. His predominant family crest is the Eagle on his mother's side, while his sub crest is the Killerwhale on his father's.
Alu'-Alums or 'Crying for or longing after something or someone' Starr was given this childhood name when he was six years old by the Chief of the Tribe when his grandfather died. Thla-enak or 'It's been a long time' - his adult name was given to him by the acting Chief when Starr returned to the village after a long absence.
