Design Information: The First Nation inspired artwork etched on the side arms of the eyewear frames incorporate contemporary, nature-inspired designs including:

Sun
The sun represents the healing light from the Creator and is symbolic of nourishment, truth, honesty and clarity.

Eagle
The eagle is a symbol of power and intelligence. An eagle will remain with its mate until one of them dies and each pair has a specific territory to which it returns each year. As a result, the eagle is seen as a symbol of loyalty. Eagle down is a symbol of peace and friendship.

Hummingbird
The hummingbird symbolizes comfort and healing. It is the spirit bearer of good news. Legend has it that the hummingbird put the twinkle in the stars.

Raven
The raven is a symbol of the power of the unknown. The raven is a bringer of light to the world, a guardian of magic, and is cunning and boisterous.

Wolf
The wolf represents family togetherness and communication. The wolf mates for life and is the family protector.
