Eagle, Bear, Whale, Warrior, Frog

The Eagle on top represents the village of Tsakis; he was the first Ancestor to come here and take off his dress becoming human to build the first house. The Bear biting onto Whale is a theme that was done over and over again by Charlie James and this is my first attempt - I am really happy with the outcome. The Woman represents Winilagalis Warrior Spirit giving birth to a Frog who brought great wealth to our Chief, Tommy Hunt and the crest that comes from our great great grandmother, Anisalaga.
