PHILOSOPHY
"In
life. The Path We Walk is Our Choice."
The
Kwakwala speaking man has always been aware of his PHYSICAL, MENTAL,
SPIRITUAL and EMOTIONAL existence. He built a very complex SOCIAL
STRUCTURE. He personified attributes like HONOR and RESPECT. SYMBOLS
were very important. The PHYSICAL symbol of the SISIUTL is POWER,
STRENGTH and PROTECTION. SPIRITUALLY, it personifies the greatest
DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE of all - THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE. We have it
within us to love, to hate, to build or to destroy
