  • The Moon Symbol in Indigenous Art

    Often a counterpoint to the Sun, the Moon is associated with transformation, peace, and maternal traits. The Moon provides protection as it offers a guiding light in the night sky and controls the tides. Although the Moon’s origin is greatly varied between cultures and stories, many northern tribes thank Raven for the gift of Moon. Sometimes, Moon is described as a chip off of Sun, which Raven clumsily dropped.
