Frederick Alexcee (1853 – 1940s) was a Canadian carver and painter from the community of Lax Kw'alaams with Tsimshian ethnicity.
Alexcee (his last name has also been spelled Alexie, Alexee, etc.) was born in Lax Kw'alaams, then known as Fort Simpson, in 1853. His father was an Iroquois laborer from eastern Canada who was in the employee of the Hudson's Bay Company at Fort Simpson. His mother was Tsimshian from the Giluts'aaw tribe, one of the "Nine Tribes" from the lower Skeena River area based at Lax Kw'alaams. In the matrilineal system of the Tsimshian, Alexcee followed his mother as a Giluts'aaw and as a member of the Gispwudwada (Killerwhale clan or phratry). His Tsimshian name was 'Wiiksmwan, meaning Great Deer Woman.
Alexcee was trained as a halaayt carver, with "halaayt" denoting shamanic practices traditionally reserved for chiefs. He crafted naxnox (spirit) paraphernalia and items for use in "secret society" ceremonies. These practices were among those targeted for eradication by late-19th-century missionaries in Lax Kw'alaams. Alexcee also carved for the Indian curio trade and produced paintings and drawings depicting traditional life in Port Simpson. In 1927, two of his paintings were exhibited at the National Gallery of Canada.
He carved human figures to adorn a baptismal font in Port Simpson's Methodist church.
He died some time in the 1940s.
