The Moon
The Native Moon Symbol is the protector and guardian of the earth. Its spirit watches over us and can change our moods.
Moon Symbol and First Nations
One of the many Native stories tells that an eclipse is a codfish trying to swallow the Moon. To prevent this, bonfires were made with branches from pine trees and other trees to make a lot of smoke; this would cause the codfish to cough and spit the Moon out.

Spirits of the West Coast Native Art Gallery sells Moon Symbol prints, Native American Jewelry, Moon Native carvings, Moon ceremonial masks, gold and silver bracelets, and bentwood boxes, all inspired by the Moon Symbol.
