Hummingbird and Loon

by Joe Wilson, Coast Salish

Coast Salish Hummingbird and Loon
Hummingbird art card measures 6 x 9 inches. Back of card: The Hummingbird is a symbol of good luck and good fortune. It was considered a positive sign to spot a Hummingbird just prior to some major event such as hunting or travelling to another village. The abilities of the Hummingbird to hover and move back and forward at great speeds are seen as skills that guide the people. For example, if the people fall behind, the Hummingbird can easily back up to keep pace. The Hummingbird design is a well-respected symbol.

Coast Salish Loon Art Card- Joe Wilson
Loon art card measures 6 x 9 inches. The Loon has always caught people's imagination when they hear its mystical cries echo across the water. Here, I have a mother with two chicks, one riding proudly on the mother's back, and the other swimming ahead. This reminds me of my two girls, one of whom I sometimes carry while the other is always anxious to look ahead and explore the world.
