Since time immemorial, the First Nation Kwakwaka`wakw from Canada have been carving masks that open up and can be transformed into various animal and human faces.
What do they mean? Why are the masks important today? You can trace the stories of the masks and design your own mysterious masks out of cardboard and colourful paper.
