| | Native American Haida Hummingbird SymbolTraits: Love, Beauty & Intelligence & Spirit Messenger Description: A literal messenger of joy, this beautiful tiny bird, also called Sah Sen, represents friendship, playfulness, and is a symbol of good luck in Northwest Coastal Native art. It is a positive sign to see Sah Sen prior to a major event such as hunting or travelling to another village. Hummingbird's ability to hover back and forth at great speeds is believed to be a skill for guiding the people; if they fall behind Hummingbird can easily back up to keep pace.  | Artist: Glenn J. Schworak (more images) (more info) |  | Artist: Nathaniel P. Wilkerson (more images) (more info) |
