Working with the Canadian Space Agency and all the partners has been a wonderful experience for myself and my family. 


As a proud father of four, I love to teach and pass on my inspirations and experiences to keep the family's heritage alive. "My children teach me something new about life all the time, they inspire me to be a better example to them and others. Love is what we share the most, family unity is our example". 



Designing the STS-78  Columbia Space Shuttle Crew Patch worn by the astronauts of the Columbia Mission in July 1996 was one of the best moments in my life. Also provided NASA with Gold pendants used for testing at zero gravity. Bob Thirsk, a Canadian astronaut, wore a crest personally designed for him.

A totem pole 54.94-m (180-ft 3-in) tall, known as the Spirit of Lekwammen ("Land of the Winds"), was raised on August 4, 1994 at Victoria, British Columbia, Canada prior to the Commonwealth Games taking place there. On August 26, 1997 the pole was partially dismantled for safety reasons.

As both an activity book and an introduction to Native American culture, Celebrating Our Heritage: Traditional Native American Crafts and Activities, written by Arlette N. Braman and illustrated by Bill Helin, is a welcome addition to any classroom. Braman was careful to avoid any activities that involve objects sacred to Native Americans."

Bill Helin currently designed the crest for Afnnexus'99 International Indigenous Business Conference and Trade Show.
"Uniting First Nations: Tecumseh's Vision" is a tribute to 
a great leader who fought and died trying to fulfill his vision 
for one united " Indian Confederation" involving all tribes in both our countries.

   

The strength and "Spirit of Rotary" is expressed here with "Eaglemoon" at the centre of the Raven's outer circle of life; unifying to serve the community, governing for the needs of the people with love and authority.
