These historic carvers such as Chief James Aul Sewid his grandfather, Gus Matilpi, Benjamin (Blackie) Dick, and Andrew (Beanie) Beans instilled his desire to learn the art trade.

As Chairman of Aboriginal Tourism British Columbia, he and the organization he led helped incorporate the Indigenous cultural component into the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The bowls he painted upon were made by the late master lathe turner Bill Luce. Some may know Thomas from his television series Aboriginal Adventures or the many appearances he makes on the Sasquatch/Bigfoot television show, he is a featured speaker at many of the famous Bigfoot conventions. His original art can fetch thousands of dollars.(Latimer Galleria, Bigfoot Mystery Magazine)

Sasquatch Island Magazine is a review of Sasquatch research and a collection of related storylines regarding the alleged American relict hominoid known as by some as “Bigfoot” and as close to factual research data as possible; all attempts were made to properly site, quote, and reference. The oral tradition and experiences of Thomas Sewid are the leading elements of focus.
