Alaskan Native American Dealer Terry Williams Epi 78, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Terry Williams (Deixh Teexli), discusses his early life growing up in Seatle and having Bill Gates in his cub scouts.  Terry is the owner of Inside Passage Arts in Skagway, AK, and sits down with host Dr. Mark Sublette to discuss the Inuit carvings that he has devoted his life to preserving and their future. We hear about Terry’s time as an artist resident in the Alaskan wilderness as well as his involvement in the silversmithing trade of the ’60s and ’70s. Terry goes into depth about the complicated legality of the Alaskan ivory trade and the influence of prehistoric mammals such as mammoths and mastodons. From Seattle to Skagway and Bali to Tucson, this is an episode of the Art Dealer Diaries that you won't want to miss.
