Indigenous people of the Northwest Coast use a transformation mask in ritual dances. The per- former can open by pulling a string to reveal an inner human face carved in wood to symbolize moving from the natural world to a supernatural realm.
According to native legends, transformation was often related to supernatural creatures such as tricksters, typically a God or Goddess who used their knowledge to cause human chaos.
