Shaman, Whale & Thunderbird Haida art Mouse Pad

"Chiefly Seattle" depicts Chief Seattle navigating the waterways of Washington's Peuget Sound area, canoeing under the protective wing of the thunderbird as he travels in spiritual harmony with nature -- an artistic representation of an ecological and environmental way of life. This shaman totem illustration features original animal designs and composition based on the graphic style widely known as Haida, a tribe of the First Nations. Each animal is typical of the Pacific Northwest: an orca 'killer' whale, a raven, four salmon species such as pink salmon, other fish like steelhead trout, a Pacific common harbour seal, and a marine turtle, as well as the mythical thunderbird. Great gift for art lovers or people who appreciate or celebrate the indigenous culture of coastal Native American Indians.
