This print is part of Lattimer Gallery's Through the Decades: Late 20th Century Haida Printmaking show, taking place online from March 15th-29th, 2025.

This print depicts a central circular Raven figure surrounded by four Human figures, one in each corner. White Raven can be viewed as an aesthetic companion piece to Reg's 4 Seasons.

"Growing up on Haida Gwaii, there was a white raven that appeared in the early 90's in the town of Port Clements. It would perch on the power lines near the gas station. Everyone knew it was special, and we would ask if you had seen it if you drove through Port. One of the versions of the well-known legend of "Raven Steals the Sun" tells that Raven used to be white, but after he stole the sun for the people of Earth, he got burnt from carrying it down from the sky chief. After that he turned black."
