Plaque - Raven with Sun

The Raven with Sun plaque was hand-carved and painted by Penelakut artist, Delbert Peter.

Raven is the curious trickster responsible for putting the sun, moon, and stars into the sky. This light bringer represents prestige and knowledge.

The Sun is provider of healing, energy, and life. Put into the sky by Raven, the rays are means of travel between earth and sky.
