9" x 6" Northwest Coast Native Haida art card by Bill ReidHaida Beaver - TTSAANGAs a crest, the Beaver has been claimed most by Haida families of the Eagle side. In Haida mythology, the Beaver is one of the Raven's adoptive uncles, from whom he stole the house itself and all its surroundings - the lake, the stream, the fish that swam in them, the fish trap, and so on. He is the symbol of prodigious renewable wealth. The two most identifying symbols are the two large incisor teeth and the scaly tail, which Reid depicted as a small human being drawn up against the stomach. He is also shown carrying a chewing stick in his front paws that have fingers. Canadian Customers: GST/HST will be charged on all Canadian orders.
