I’m no expert but I think that hat is Haida. The Haida People are indigenous to British Columbia which is a fancy word for here first. 

Wanna see some more Haida art? Look on the back of that 20 dollar Canadian bill your Dad just gave you. No, not Helen Mirren, the other side. That’s the Black Canoe, or the Spirit of Haida Gwaii by Bill Reid, one of my all-time favorite artists. (I met him once before he died in 1998). The huge bronze cast is paddling upstream at the Canadian Embassy in Washington D.C. This photo was taken just off Clark Drive near the Adanac Bikeway by my sweetie because I had seen it once and couldn’t find it to save my life. Thanks, babe
