Two years later, Reid adapted the design for reproduction as silkscreen prints, with proceeds benefitting the Artists for Kids Trust.\u003cbr\u003eXuu.ajii (Grizzly Bear) was a favourite character of Bill Reid's and he often used it in his jewelry designs and sculpture. Xuu.ajii is an important crest among the Haida Nation and plays asignificant role in ancient Haida narratives.\u003cbr\u003eThe Skidegate Haida spelling for Grizzly Bear has evolved since Reid created Xhuwaji, Haida Grizzly Bear. Today, the word for Grizzly Bear is spelled xuu.ajii. This is because in recent decades, the spelling and phonetic structure of the Haida language have been refined through the efforts to revitalise the language by community members, particularly Elders, via the Skidegate Haida Immersion Program (SHIP).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40785022419019,"sku":"RCM.CA.SV.CN.003115 - BC2009","price":199.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/false_5dec595c-4b36-4479-85eb-435a0dc3657c.jpg?v=1717053768","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-silver-2020-d20-bill-reid-xhuwaji-pf-1_009oz_-_9999-bc2009","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
