Description
Troy Roberts has been immersed in his native cultural heritage since he was a small boy when he learned about the dances and myths of his people under the disciplined guidance of the late Elizabeth Kwaksistala. Troy now carries on this tradition with his sons, Tyrone and Nathan.
Troy's artistic talent came to light at a very young age when he was inspired by the most stylistically inventive artist of his time, the late Willie Seaweed. Although he has since pursued other careers, his achievements in carving over the last 20 years has opened doors to the rediscovery of his native heritage.
In 1993, he was involved in the creation of the canoe "KlineeQwala" (Lightning Speed) and was part of the crew (stern-most figure) who paddled it from Campbell River to the Qatuwas Festival in Bella Bella, some 270 miles away.
