This is one of the two bracelets Cheri wears every day.
Cheri says:
"The first bracelet is Northwest Coast, by a young carver. I'm looking
all over the house for my documentation on this piece, and can't find
it right now... That has his full name and tribal affiliation. .. I
bought it at the gift shop at the Royal BC Museum, in Victoria,
British Columbia. The images are of an eagle and a salmon. This is a
special bracelet for me because the salmon spawn here on my property,
and bald eagles fly overhead. A major theme of Northwest Coast art is
transformation - in this case the transformation is water to sky,
predator to prey to predator. Eternal cycles and circles... Unlike
Southwest Native American art, Northwest Coast art usually depicts
clan affiliations and tells very specific stories."
