5. Sts’ool (Beaver) Bowl

Tsimshian
Alder
3.5” x 8.5” x 5.5”

This beaver represents hard work and determination. In my perspective this beaver is staring at the biggest tree in the forest—at least the biggest tree to him—and he is thinking, "I'm going to chop that down. That tree is mine." A beaver doesn’t worry about how much work it takes to chop down the tree; the beaver just does it. This, for me, is a reminder to just do it. What's the worst that can happen? You fail, you learn. You succeed, you still learn. Either way, it's a win-win... So just go and get your tree.
