Fair, my only knowledge of this is in this thread.

Either way, I think it’s art and I don’t think anyone has the right to claim any style of art except for the artist that created it.

I don’t see anything wrong with the mask and I don’t have an issue that it was created by a (presumably) white person. To me it’s respectful and looks really cool.

We should be embracing and celebrating the fact that Holtby and the artist liked First Nation imagery enough to borrow inspiration from it, not forcing an apology and a new mask because it wasn’t made by a certain artist.
