March 31st, 2016 was a very special day.
Chief Jim Thomas, one of Dos Polacas' strongest supporters, traveled with Dos Polacas and film producer, Zenia Pakker-Kozicki,
to visit Chief Beau Dick at his studio on the University of British Columbia campus.
The rapport between these two leaders was palpable and exciting.
Stories and laughter, ceremony and tears filled our time spent in Beau's studio and afterward at the Belkin Gallery for "Tea with Beau."
These two edited videos, The Tlingit Story of the Copper with Chief Jim Thomas and The Raven and the Rock Story with Chief Beau Dick, are a small taste of the day we wanted you to see.

A Tlingit origin story of the copper introduces traditional ideas of right behavior, consequences, interventions, spirit animals and slavery.
