The face of this house is made
up of elements of the Killerwhale.

cheeks are the pectoral fins.
Dorsal fins are represented
across it's forehead indicating
great luck. The blue above this
is the water surface with the
house's dorsal fin, decorated
with the image of the Raven,
sticking above the water.
The Salmon leaves the ocean
to enter the River's mouth while
the Moon watches.
