===Major works and awards=== Reid's most popular works are three large bronze sculptures. Two depict a [[canoe]] filled with human and animal figures: one black, ''The [[Spirit of Haida Gwaii]]'', is at the [[Canadian Embassy, Washington, D.C.]], in the United States; and one green, ''The Jade Canoe'', is at [[Vancouver International Airport]], in [[British Columbia]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Tepper |first=Leslie |title=The Grand Hall: First Peoples of Canada's Northwest Coast |publisher=Library and Archives Canada |year=2014 |isbn=9780660202792 |pages=36}}</ref> The third sculpture, ''Chief of the Undersea World'', depicts a breaching [[orca]] and is installed at the [[Vancouver Aquarium]].
