Yoh

Gah Gweni Yoh, a member of the Snipe Clan within the Seneca Nation of the Six Nations Confederacy, has been passionate about carving from a young age. Influenced by the traditional teachings and stories of the Elders, Gah's sculptures are a reflection of these age-old narratives.

His contemporary works often celebrate elements of nature, such as the Bear, symbolizing both strength and tranquility. The Bear is esteemed for its quiet, unassuming power and traditional role as the "Keeper of the Medicines," representing the belief that safeguarding medicinal practices ensures the well-being of the people.
