The hummingbirds hovering above the Raven Chief’s headdress may represent peace, harmony and healing. The flowers accompanying the hummingbird may be associated with medicinal properties. It appears that the chiefs tongue may be protruding. If that’s the case, he would be a shaman chief.
The hummingbird is a secondary crest within the raven clan. There is a story of a time when a massive forest fire threatened to destroy the world. Many large animal ran away.
