Corrine Hunt (born 1959), also known as Nugwam Gelatleg'lees, is a Kwakwaka'wakw/Tlingit artist, carver, jeweller and designer based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Hunt is a member of the Raven Gwa'waina clan from Ts'akis, or Alert Bay, British Columbia[1] and was born in 1959.[2] Her grandmother, A'naeesla'ga, also known as Mary Ebbetts née Hunt (Ansnaq, Anislaga, A'naeesla'ga and Anain) (1823-1919), was a member of the Raven clan of the Taantakwáan (Tongass) tribe of the Tlingit nation of what is now southeastern Alaska. Mary was the daughter of Chief Keishíshk' Shakes IV and S’eitlin, a Deisheetaan (Gaanax.ádi) woman from Aan goon (Angoon). It was from A'naeesla'ga that she inherited the name Nugwan Gelatleg'lees – "Killer Whale scratching her back on the beach" in 1965.[3] Her paternal grandfather, Jonathan Hunt, was a Kwakwaka'wakw chief.[3]
Hunt's family includes Kwakwaka'wakw artists Henry Hunt, Tony Hunt, Richard Hunt and Stanley Hunt. She credits her uncle, jewellery engraver Norman Brotchie, as sparking her interest in creating art and was instrumental in introducing her to Kwakwaka'wakw art.[4] Having lived in the Vancouver area since 1975, Hunt attended Simon Fraser University, majoring in Anthropology and Latin American studies.[4]
