Chickadees 8cm Hand Painted Glass Ornament Designed by Artist Carla Joseph

“Chickadees” 8cm Hand Painted Glass Ornament Designed by Artist Carla Joseph   Authentic Indigenous Art Artist: Carla Joseph Cultural Background: Cree   In many Indigenous cultures, chickadees are seen as messengers, representing truth, wisdom, and foresight. They are often considered truth-tellers and are believed to foretell future events or warn of danger. They also symbolize resilience, curiosity, joy, and the importance of social connections. Messengers and truth-tellers: In Cherokee traditions, the chickadee is a “truth-teller” due to a legend where it reveals the location of a dangerous ogress. In other cultures, they are viewed as “honest messengers” who foretell the coming of strangers or enemies. Wisdom and adaptability: The chickadee is associated with learning from others and adapting to changing circumstances. For example, a Crow legend portrays the chickadee as a guide for a great leader, showing that even small creatures can possess great wisdom. Resilience and joy: Their ability to thrive through harsh winters symbolizes resilience, and their cheerful calls represent finding joy in life and the present moment. Warning and foresight: The “chick-a-dee-dee” call can change depending on the level of threat, making the chickadee a reliable messenger of danger. Social connections: As social birds that gather in flocks, they represent the importance of community and mutual support.
