It was customary among the Haida for the eldest son of a chief’s eldest sister to move on reaching maturity to the house of his uncle, whom he was in line to succeed as chief. Florence Davidson recalled that “dad was about eighteen or nineteen when he came to Masset. His uncle, Albert Edward Edenshaw [Eda’nsa*], wanted him, so he came here.” Eda’nsa, the hereditary chief of the Sdast’aas Eagle lineage, had moved his family from Kiusta to the village of Kung, east of Kiusta on the north coast of Graham Island in the Queen Charlottes, around 1853. It is probable that, while the family were frequently in Masset, their principal residence was in Kung until the 1880s.

Florence Edenshaw Davidson a raconté : « papa avait dix-huit ou dix-neuf ans quand il est arrivé à Masset. Son oncle, Albert Edward Edenshaw [Eda’nsa*], le réclamait, alors il est venu ici. » Vers 1853, Eda’nsa, le chef héréditaire du clan de l’Aigle de la lignée des Sdast’aas, était parti de Kiusta avec sa famille et s’était installé à Kung, village situé à l’est de Kiusta, sur la côte nord de l’île Graham, dans l’archipel de la Reine-Charlotte.

By the time he and his wife moved to Masset, Charles Edenshaw’s style was fully developed, and he made his living from his art, not needing to supplement his income through fishing or hunting as many Haida artists did. From the known attributions of his work, it would appear that his most productive period was from 1880 to 1910. As his uncle had before him, in the spring and summer he made frequent visits with his family to places such as Port Essington, Fort Simpson (Port Simpson), and Victoria and Juneau, Kasaan, Klinkwan, and Ketchikan in Alaska, where he would carve and sell his work and Isabella would make baskets for sale and take employment in canneries. For some years Charles carved in Victoria all winter long. Later he used a shed behind his house in Masset and, after the children were grown, he carved in the house.
