William Ronald Reid Jr. OBC RCA (12 January 1920 – 13 March 1998) was a Haida artist whose works include jewelry, sculpture, screen-printing, and paintings.[1] Producing over one thousand original works during his fifty-year career, Reid is regarded as one of the most significant Northwest Coast artists of the late twentieth century.[2]
He was a matrilineal descendant of K'aadaas Gaa K'iigawaay,[3] who belong to K_ayx_al, the Raven matrilineages of the Haida Nation. This matrilineage traces its origins to T'aanuu Llnagaay.[4][5] His names are Iljuuwas (Princely One), Kihlguulins (One Who Speaks Well), and Yaahl SG_waansing (Solitary Raven).[6]
Some of his major works were featured on the Canadian $20 banknote of the Canadian Journey series (2004–2012).
