Materials: Silver 925 / Sterling Silver Width: 1/4" / 6mm Artists: Charles Harper Totem Symbols: Salmon Styles: Canadian First Nations Categories: Rings Salmon The symbol of immortality and wealth, dependability and renewal. The Salmon is the life source, and is always treated with high regard and respect. Many First Nations cultures tell of the Salmon people living in the ocean, who offer their bodies as food to the human world and once their flesh is used they return home to put on new flesh and begin the cycle once again. Their stories teach to honour and respect what is given and to never be too greedy.
