This is a mini paddle with a bear design, which is a smaller version of my real paddles. I am a Tlingit Native, of Southeast Alaska. This is one of many real items used in the everyday life of a Tlingit adorned with one of my own designs. We carve and paint on many of our everyday possesions. All the art comes from Totem poles. Totem Poles were used to tell stories that needed to be remembered. | Mini Dance Paddle With Bear | ||||||||||||||||
