Carved from yellow cedar by Nelson McCarty ( Nlaka'pamux/ Nuu-chah-nulth)Within Northwest Coast Native culture, the Hummingbird is often associated with insects rather than other b irds because of its size, speed, and tendency to flit about from one place to the next. Because of this they are seen as being messengers- flying about with news to tell. Hummingbirds are messengers that bring happy news of good health and good luck.11.5" T Show more
