Hummingbird and Dogwood - 16.5 x 13.5 Unframed

Artist: Connie Dickens

Where the Skeena River meets the Bulkley River is the traditional territory of the Gitxsan people. The Gitxsan are a part of the Tsimshian Nation and my Grandfather was of Gitxsan descent. 

To the Gitxsan, Jin, hummingbird in Gitxsanimaax, brought luck to the people. A feather from a live hummingbird was a valuable addition to the medicine bags worn around the neck. 

The Dogwood tree is Native to British Columbia and the Dogwood flower is our Provincial flower.
