Featuring the artwork of Northwest Coast artist Wade Baker.  Mintle-e-da-us (Wade Stephen Baker) was born in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1956. His Kwakiutl native name is Mintle-e-da-us, which means place of plenty. Wade prides himself on being part of the most powerful spiritual dancers in Hamsham Kwakiutl ceremonies. His mother is high ranking nobility of the Kingcome Inlet people, Kwakiutl Nation, British Columbia. His late father, descended from Chief Capilano, was Coast Salish, Squamish Nation. Wade lives with his partner/wife, and daughter in North Vancouver.

Wade is a self taught artist who was inspired as a child by watching his relatives Mungo Martin and Henry Hunt who were master carvers. His understanding of the deep spiritual and religious meaning of traditional ceremonies comes from attending his family's many potlatches held in various longhouses along the coast. His complex and detailed artistry, combined with brilliant colours, create spiritual forms that appeal to both traditional and modern collectors. Wade is the Millennium Coin designer of the Double Wolf August 2000 quarter.
