Beaver Swimming

The Beaver appears in Northwest mythology and is a family crest in many regions throughout the Northwest Coast. According to legend, the first Beaver was a woman, whose husband frequently went on long hunting and fishing trips. In his absence, his lonely wife took solace swimming, enlarging her pond with a dam and building her own water dwelling. Eventually, she transformed into a Beaver and their children were Beaver People, founding the Beaver lineage.
In mythology, they are often associated with the powerful undersea supernatural beings and the magic Giant Beaver can cause natural disaster with one slap of its wide, strong tail. Characterisically, the Beaver is known to keep to himself and cares little for the activities of the humans, except when they are directly affected. Thus, they often give wise advice so it is important to listen when they do decide to speak.

Quwut Sun

“This contemporary Coast Salish sun design is an attempt to mediate between the Hul’qumi’num language (the language of the Cowichan Tribes) and English. There have been various anglecized spellings of this Hul’qumi’num toponym (place name), such as “Cowichan,” “Khowutzun,” and the currently accepted “Quwutsun.” This Hul’qumi’num term has been simplified and misinterpreted as meaning “The Warm Land,” when it should be more correctly interpreted as meaning “warmed by the sun,” or “basking in the sun with your back turned to the sun.”
The four eclipsed suns surrounding the central sun symbolize the darkness of ignorance blocking Daylight, a powerful source of truth.”

“Initiation” Bracelet
Gwaai Edenshaw
$630.00 CADSterling silver, Impressed
Weathered Finish & PolishedFrom Gwaai Edenshaw:
“Like fragmented artifacts or a keyhole peek at a larger design, this is the essence of the Regalia Line. From an idea conceived over a decade ago, through techniques fine-tuned over the last 5 years comes a new line by designer Gwaai Edenshaw.
Initiation is the inaugural collection by Regalia. These one-of-a-kind pieces merge Haida tradition with modern fashion for a distinct combination of quality and style.
The Initiation motif depicts four sides of a bent corner box representing variations of the Raven story.
Once embossed on sterling silver or gold sheets, specific images are carefully chosen for their aesthetic and narrative qualities. These are then shaped and polished by hand ensuring no two pieces will ever be alike.”
