Ki-Ke-In, also known as Chuuchkamalthnii, Haa'yuups, and Ron Hamilton is a Nuu-chah-nulth cultural figure from the Hupacasath First Nation.
His work includes sculpture, drawings, paintings, dance, song, writing, regalia and curatorial activities which document the ceremonial life of his people.
[1] A resident of Port Alberni, Ki-ke-in's exhibition of his own and historical Nuu-chah-nulth ceremonial curtains at the University of British Columbia formed part of the 2010 Vancouver Cultural Olympiad.
[4] In 2006, he worked for a month with the National Museum of the American Indian, "writing artifact descriptions and a chapter in the accompanying exhibit book" and singing "an ancient ciquaa (prayer chant)" and "speaking to the artifacts in his language and assuring them they are safe and in a good place."
[5] In 2018, he was named co-curator of a "multi-year project to restore and conserve a section that highlights First Nations cultures of the Pacific Northwest" at the American Museum of Natural History.
