Canadian We Wai Kai Nation Mask: Moon Mask

This mask represents the moon and shows two ravens. The mask was carved by Raven Eagle of the We Wai Kai First Nation in British Columbia, Canada.

The Raven is the cultural focus of the Native Northwest Coast People. He symbolizes creation, knowledge, prestige as well as the complexity of nature and the subtlety of truth. The Raven was often called upon to clarify truths in visions, as the wise elders knew that what the eye sees is not always the truth.

Many of the original peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast refer to him as a god, and it is believed by some that messages from the creator or the cosmos are buried in the wings of the Raven only to be released to the families most deserving of his knowledge.
