Among the Kwakwaka'wakw the use of the clapper is reserved to the Mitla dancer, one of the performers in the Tseyka series. In the dance it is shaken rapidly and produces a staccato clattering sound. The whole instrument is carved and painted to represent the killer whale, with a thin upright dorsal fin and pectoral fins. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)

Throughout the masking area of the Northwest Coast, the dramatic effect of opening jaws and other moving parts on masks was recognized. Of all the tribes using masks, however, the Kwakwaka'wakw carried articulation to its highest development. This small thunderbird forehead mask uses two variations on the theme. The lower mandible is hinged to allow it to open and close, and the crest of wooden feathers between the ears can be spread like a fan or dropped back to lie flat on the head. Strings control movement of these parts. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
