This Raven Panel was made by Kwakiutl artist Trevor Hunt. It has been sandblasted in red cedar and painted in acrylic paint.
Mischievous and curious, the Raven plays many important roles in Pacific Northwest Coast Culture. For some, he symbolizes creation, transformation, knowledge, prestige as well as the complexity of nature and the subtlety of truth. He also symbolizes the unknown and shows that every person sees the world in a different way.
