Bear and Salmon Cedar Panel SwanThis Red Cedar Bear and Salmon Panel was carved by Native American Artist Trevor Hunt from the Kwakiutl or Kwakwakawakw Nation. The panel features a Black Bear Design as well as a Sockeye Salmon Design (upside down) on the top right of the panel. The Bear Symbol represents strength, family, vitality courage and health. The bear is thoughtful and independent, with little need for fellowship. The bear is also self contained and strong willed in nature.
