Haida art by Corey Bulpitt. The glass panel is 24" by 12".
The Native Butterfly is a symbol of transformation and rebirth encouraging us to embrace the concept of change and metamorphosis as an integral part of life. It reminds us that change is not to be feared but celebrated.
Butterfly is a companion and guide to the Raven in Haida Raven Tales. He was with Raven from the beginning and was there when Raven discovered the first humans and placed them on earth. He often leads Raven to food sources and or to hiding places of creatures concealed from him. He also acts as a spokesperson for Raven. From the human point of view, butterfly is a messenger, a bridge to the spirit world. The cooperation between Butterfly and Raven illustrates the interconnectedness and balance in nature.
