Wall Panels and Plaques carved by Native American artists from the northwest coast reveal the rich cultures and spirituality of diverse indigenous communities. Hand carved and painted cedar artworks depict family crests, characters from traditional stories, and supernatural beings. Family and clan crests have been passed down since time immemorial. Creatures from the natural and supernatural world represent ancestral connections with deep meanings for the respective communities. Traditional stories are illustrated. For example ‘Raven brings light to the world’, ‘The Bear Mother story’, ‘Thunderbird catches a Whale’, and ‘Raven and the Grizzly bear’. Sometimes we might glimpse the spirit world.
