Crooked-Beak mask

The mask represents the Crooked-Beak-of-Heaven, another of the servants of Baxwbakwalannuxwsiwe', the Man-Eater-of-the-North-End-of-the-World. When the dancer sits, snapping the beak of the mask, he cries "Hap! hap!" His costume includes skirt and leggings of dyed red cedar bark.
