Cedar House Gallery – Huu Mees Ma As

Cedar House Gallery – Huu Mees Ma As is an Indigenous-owned business in Ucluelet, BC, on the traditional territory of the Ucluelet First Nations. Specializing in Nuu-chah-nulth art from First Nation’s artists on Vancouver Island’s west coast, the gallery is named Huumiis Maas, translating to Cedar House, where “Huumiis” means “to give to life.” Owned and operated by artist Tlehpika Hjalmer Wenstob and his family, the gallery showcases his unique blend of contemporary political work with traditional materials and styles, reflecting Hjalmer’s Nuu-chah-nulth heritage from the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations.
