My Totem Pole ~ Blog Building Challenge #3

Since this challenge has been posted I have thought long and hard about it.
I researched totem poles and learned so much.
Being part Native American, it gave me a glimps into my very distance relatives.

My totem pole would resemble my life up to this point.
At the bottom would be a small Killer Whale, which is me (the oldest). There would also be two cubs. My brother to my right (middle child) and my sister (the youngest) to my left. They are so significant because being the oldest I have always tried to protect them. Next up would be a Dragon Fly. It would represent the changes we three would go thru when my dad remarried. Next would be a the symbol of a Halibut. This is John. The Halibut represents Life Protector, Strength and Stability. Next would be two Wolf Cubs. They represent Steven and Jordan. Next is a Beaver, which represents Creativity, Artistic and Determined. The last part of my totem pole would be me, an Eagle this time, on top with wings stretched to the heavens releasing two butterflies. One would be out off my wing as one still rests there. The Sun would be shining behind me. It represents a new day and the changes I have coming in my life.

I thought about what a personal totem pole for who I see myself as would look like.
It would start at the bottom with a Killer Whale, then have a Dragon Fly, a Dog Fish, a Hummingbird, a Bear and at the top, an Eagle.

Each of these symbols represent who I see myself to be.
The Killer Whale represents a Traveler & Guardian.
The Dragon Fly is an Ever Changing Life.
The DogFish is Persistance & Strength.
The Hummingbird is Love, Beauty, Intelligence and Spirit Messenger.
The Bear is Strength, Learned Humility (still working on that), Motherhood and Teaching.
Lastly, the Eagle represents Great Strength, Leadership and Prestige.

This was an interesting veiw of how the Spirits of the earth who guard & protect us see me and my family.
