Sisiutł: The Three-Headed Sea Serpent of Power and Protection
The Sisiutł, a three-headed sea serpent, holds a place of deep reverence in Pacific Northwest Coast Indigenous cultures, symbolizing protection, healing, and supernatural strength. This sacred being carries immense spiritual significance, often portrayed in art and ceremonial practices.

As a being of duality, the Sisiutł represents both creation and destruction, embodying the balance of opposing forces. Its transformative powers make it a guardian and a source of immense energy for those who honor it. Whether in carvings, paintings, or ceremonial regalia, the Sisiutł remains a powerful symbol of resilience, spiritual wisdom, and the enduring connection between humanity and the supernatural.
