Frog and Beaver
by Joe Wilson, Coast Salish
 Frog art card measures 6 x 9 inches. Back of card: The Frog "Wukus" is known in the Salish tradition as the "Announcer". It is the Frog who announces the end of the winter dance season. It is said that as the last snowflakes of the season touch the ground they turn into frogs, and the people then know that it is only another 6 weeks before the salmon will return to the rivers. TIP- This card works perfectly in a floating frame! |

 Salish Beaver art card measures 6 x 9 inches. Back of card: I have often been asked to design a Salish representation of the beaver. This design incorporates many of the traditional Salish forms with my own interpretive style. The beaver design represents patience and strength to me- strength for our future carvers and artists and the patience that it requires. |
