Nisga'a translation for Rabbit

One morning while I was on my way to the bus to head to school a rabbit hopped across my path...I wondered what that meant and looked it up

"rabbit crossing your path can mean a new chapter of life is starting. They can also indicate that good luck and abundance are on the horizon. Seeing a rabbit while you're walking can be a sign to listen to and follow your intuition."

Rabbits also symbolize fertility... so I painted red clovers which are known to help promote fertility... as I was thinking about the history of so called Canada forced sterilization was imposed on indigenous people... so this piece is to bring hope and dedicated to those who struggle to conceive.

Also hidden within my painting is 1 lucky clover.
