Raven and Hummingbird Paddle Lightning Snake

Raven and Hummingbird Paddle Lightning SnakeThis yellow cedar paddle with a Raven and Hummingbird design is entitled 'Spring is in the Air.' This paddle is by Native American artist Trevor Hunt from the Kwagu Nation. Trevor has applied his sandblasted technique to this paddle and the result is a complex and deeply grooved contemporary design further enhanced by black, blue, red, white, and purple acrylic. Mischievous and curious, the Raven plays many important roles in Pacific Northwest Coast

Chilkat weaving represents a collaboration between male and female artists

we become allies ourselves because injustice is injustice no matter who you are

Tied in the back is a black rope

with any symbol or colour palette you would like

and a little over 1 1/4 inches or 3 centimeters deep including the beak

75 inches or 1

male and female

Starting out their lives in streams and lakes as alevin

They will be her shining chorus when she sings to the Salmon People

The youngest

So her young son-in-law heard her wish and decided to fulfill it
