Recognise this native pattern?

Feb 2, 2012 12:26 PM

Does anyone recognise this style of native pattern? What (likely Canadian) tribe would it correspond to?

It’s Haida. West coast Canada. I can’t see the whole pattern but it’s either a fish or eagle. The totem looks similar to those found on boxes that smoked salmon came in.

Definitely Haida. I think a fish because of the fin on the back. Here is a similar image:

Looks like a food gift box for sea salmon.

Thanks everyone for your input. I decided to keep the box instead of selling it. Quite pretty.

I believe it’s what they call a conflator……used to inflate Conservatives.

You're partially correct although it's nonpartisan.

This old tool has been reintroduced in BC by the Christy Clark Administration.

It will be part of the New Health Care Program, it will then, follow in the rest of Canada.

I was just pulling your leg valve. I knew it was an antique medical concept called a Tobacco Smoke Enema. I read about it somewhere a few months ago.

I thought, after listening to you for so long, that Conservatives were already inflated.
