The Killer Whale Symbol
Traits: Traveler & Guardian - Symbol of Good
Description: Whale is the sea manifestation of Wolf; it is held in great awe for its size and power. It was believed a whale could capture a canoe, take it underwater and transform the occupants into whales. Thus, a whale near the shore is a human, transformed, trying to communicate with his family. In the Northwest, the Orca is the whale depicted in most art and is also known as the Killer Whale. The large dorsal fin of the Orca and black and white coloring make it easy to recognize.
