Story

I Stegyawden, a Tsimshian Indian name meaning ‘painted goat,’ is a mountain on the Skeena River near Hazelton, British Columbia. The mighty Skeena itself is known to its first travellers, the Tsimshian Indians, as K’sian, meaning ‘juice from the clouds’.

Many stories and legends are told of Stegyawden and K’sian. One in particular refers to the legendary village of Temleham, located at the base of Stegyawden on the banks of K’sian. Its people were so powerful and influential, and the surroundings were so majestic, spiritual, and beautiful that the village of Temleham became known to all Indian Nations as a significant and proper place to meet. Chiefs from all West Coast Indian Nations would travel many perilous miles to congregate at Temleham.

Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, Bella Coola, Kwakiult, and Nuu Cha Nulth - all would attend. Many elaborate and impressive feasts were held. Friendships and alliances developed, and differences were settled.

Temleham was appropriate. It was the location the ancients had chosen and created to serve as a place of peace for all nations.

In the swirling mists of the mighty K’sian, one can, even today, sense the presence of those wise chiefs. Their spirit and wisdom live on, and their beautiful West Coast of Canada remains a majestic and spiritual meeting place, a proper setting for A Meeting of Chiefs.

Limited edition prints were presented by the Provincial Government to the Commonwealth Heads of State.)

Good quality. Proper functional use.
Size: 58mm
It's all about the details. Functional and sleek design. I enjoy the satisfying click when applying the tamping process. The ease of use and not having to worry about uneven pressure being applied in the portafilter is why I purchased this. It gets the job done.

Great weight and super easy to use
Size: 53mm, Size: 53mm
I’m really happy with this tamper. It has a nice, heavy feel that makes it seem really well made, and the weight actually helps get an even press without much effort. It’s very smooth and easy to push, and it fits my 53.3mm basket perfectly. Definitely glad I bought it!

Very well made. Works like a charm. I like palm tampers and this one makes it a lot easier to get a level tamp!
