  • The Butterfly Symbol in Indigenous Art

    Recognized for its short and dramatic life cycle, the Butterfly is often symbolic of change and renewal in Northwest Coast artwork. In some Haida stories, Butterfly is Raven’s companion who leads Raven to food sources or uncovers the hiding places of treasure and luck. Butterfly is a minor crest figure and sometimes appears simply as decoration because of its beauty and grace.
