At the age of thirty-two and at the height of a new found success as an artist and printmaker, Chee Chee died tragically by committing suicide.

He was born a Kwa-Gulth of the Kwakiutl nation in Alert Bay, B.C. and is the grandson of the legendary chief, Mungo Martin. Richard is chief carver for the B.C.
