Hand created by First Nations
artist Val Andrew from the Salish people of British
Columbia Canada. She is a descendent of a great
Medicine Man known as"Old Pierre".
I create my OWN healing
symbols and meld them with the old pictographs from
the Stein Valley which is the shared territory of our
people in Mt. Currie, and the Lytton People plus all
bands in-between.
All the symbols deal with the
Power Spirits within all of us which is a Salish
belief.
Two Bear Paws each holding an
Eagle's feathers to smudge the wearer. They are
bringing in the positive spirits and strength in
healing. The sun represents Power.
