The 'Philosopher'
Dragonflies symbolize an ever changing spirit, able to see through life’s illusions, provoking deep thought and compassion.

Historically, West Coast indigenous peoples would adorn themselves with striking jewelry made of wood, copper, bone, shell, and various types of stone or gems. These pieces would normally have a meaning or story behind them reflecting the personality or experience of the wearer.

This metal is sacred to us and offered at potlatches, and in ceremony, as the highest sign of respect. Copper is also known by many to have healing qualities
