This beautiful and elegant pendant by Bill Helin is made of a special silver and pewter alloy and is presented on a 18" sterling silver chain. This piece has been 100% designed and made in Canada.

Tsimshian artist Bill Helin enjoys a very rewarding career as a creative gold engraver, painter, woodcarver, and book illustrator. He loves to paint mythological images to educate people on the history of the Tsimshian nation and the many stories passed down through his ancestors. His greatest passion, however, is to spiritually represent and bond individuals together through the use of native Life Crest symbols. The art of Bill Helin is reproduced in collaboration with the artist and royalties are paid to the artist on each item sold.

This design celebrates the commonalities of all Indigenous tribes. The sun, moon, stars and rain clouds represent an honoured relationship with the spiritual world of the cosmos. Reverence for the natural world is represented by both flora (corn, squash, beans and tobacco) and fauna buffalo, elk, bear and eagle).

The Hualapai, or People of the Tall Pines, have been residents of the Grand Canyon region for more than 800 years. Traditionally, they moved between plateau and canyon, hunting game and raising crops wherever water flowed. The Hualapai tell a legend of how a great flood rose, covering Earth in a huge lake of water. No one could move about. Pack-i-tha-a-wi, a Hualapai hero, strode into the water carrying a gigantic flint knife and a heavy wooden club. He plunged the knife into water-covered Earth, using the club to drive it deeper and deeper until a canyon was formed. Through this magnificent canyon, the floodwaters flowed into the Sea of Sunset. The grateful Sun shone down on Pack-i-tha-a-wi’s handiwork, baking the surface into the vibrant colours and fantastic shapes seen today in the Grand Canyon, including Cedar Mountain. Rising to 7,057 feet, this dramatic cedar-covered mesa is part of the Moenkopi Formation on the southeastern side of Grand Canyon National Park.
