The Enigma of WOLF

WOLVES are an enigmatic character on the North West Coast because there is not as great a body of Wolf stories as there are for Eagle and Raven. On Haida Gwaii, on the Northwest Coast, the Wolf was only known from hearsay as there were no wolves on those islands, but the Wolf was an important family crest of the Raven Clan.
There is another mythical character that this bracelet could represent and that is WASCO, the SEA WOLF, which is an Eagle family crest. The Wasco was a giant Seawolf that caught and ate whales usually depicted as a wolf with a dorsal fin. So if you are a Raven this is a wolf, or if you are an Eagle this is Wasco, either way it brings a fierce protective spirit to your wrist.
