Isabel Rorick (b. 1955) spent the first 25 years of her life in her ancestral Village of Old Masset, on Haida Gwaii. Isabel was the third of six children.

Isabel came from a long line of weavers on both sides of her family. Her Haida name translated is Red Moon, which was a name preciously held by her maternal great-grandmother Isabella Edenshaw. Primrose Adams is her mother. On her father's side was Selina Peratrovich, her grandmother. Her aunt, Delores Churchill and her two daughters, April and Holly Churchill of Ketchikan, Alaska, are weavers also.
