Hunt belongs to one of the most famous art-making families on the Northwest Coast. His father, Tony Hunt, Sr., established the first Native-owned gallery, the Arts of the Raven Gallery in Victoria, B.C., and his grandfather, Henry Hunt, was chief carver at the Provincial Museum's Thunderbird Park. Exhibited widely in galleries and museums, many other members of the Hunt family are renowned carvers as well, including Calvin Hunt (see Lewis Park Poles print shown nearby).
