Nathan Jackson (artist)
Nathan Jackson (born August 29, 1938〔) is an Alaska native artist. He is among the most important living Tlingit artists〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/totems/contemporary/tlingit.php )〕 and the most important Alaskan artists. He is best known for his totem poles, but works in a variety of media.
Jackson belongs to the Sockeye clan on the Raven side of the Chilkoot Tlingit.〔 As a young adult, he served in the military in Germany, and then became involved in commercial fishing.〔 While ill with pneumonia and unable to fish, he began to carve miniature totem poles.〔 His interest in art was piqued, and he enrolled in the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico.〔 Since then, Jackson's work has included large totem poles, canoes, carved doors, wood panel clan crests, masks, and jewelry.〔 Jackson has worked to pass on traditional Tlingit carving skills to younger artists, and has offered many demonstrations and workshops in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.〔
Jackson has created more than 50 totem poles, some of which are on display in the National Museum of the American Indian,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nmai.si.edu/searchcollections/item.aspx?irn=280007&catids=0&areaid=16&src=1-1&size=75&page=12 )〕 the Field Museum in Chicago, Harvard University's Peabody Museum,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.peabody.harvard.edu/node/313 )〕 and other museums in the United States, Europe, and Japan.〔 Other totem poles stand outside Juneau-Douglas High School,〔 Juneau's Centennial Hall,〔 in Juneau's Sealaska Building, in Totem Bight State Historical Park,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/units/totempol.htm )〕 at the Alaska Native Heritage Center,〔 at Saxman Totem Park, and at the Totem Heritage Center in Ketchikan. He is a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship (1995),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nea.gov/honors/heritage/fellows/fellow.php?id=1995_07&type=bio )〕 a Rasmuson Foundation Distinguished Artist Award (2009), and an honorary doctorate in humanities from the University of Alaska Southeast.〔
Jackson currently resides in Ketchikan, Alaska. His wife and son are also artists.〔
