Sterling Silver 'Wolf' Small Spirit Bead

Artist: Haida

The Wolf represents loyalty, strong family ties, good communication, education, understanding, and intelligence. Of all land animals, the Wolf has the strongest supernatural powers and is the most accomplished hunter. The Wolf is a very social and communicative creature. The First Nations had great respect for Wolves because of their alikeness. Both Natives and Wolves hunt, gather, defend and even educate their tribe or pack. The Wolf has always been respected as a very family oriented animal because he mates for life, watches and protects his young, and protects the elders. Hunters would carve or paint lightning snakes with the head of Wolves on their canoes, in belief that the hunting skills of the Wolves would help their hunting skills on the water. Some native people believe that wolves are the reincarnation of dead hunters, and they are frequently impersonated at ceremonies as Wolves. 

If direction and purpose are lacking in life, the steadfast determination of the Wolf can overcome fear, indecision and confusion. Healers often take the form of the Wolf in their ritual work. Wolves are fierce, loyal, independent, and well   able    to offer support on the most challenging healing journey.
