Raven People
I have been adopted by the House of Walkus in Owikeeno and carry the mantle of a chieftainship. The crest of the house is Raven and so it is that I am a Raven amoung the Owikeeno people, as well as the Bella Bella and Waglisla people. These are the people of my Grandfather, Henry Vickers, and I am proud to be a Raven, as he was.
I have also had the blessing of being adopted into the Skidegate people and the Haida nation. My greatgrandfather, Amos Collinson, was from this village. Amos moved to Kitkatla and married my greatgrandmother and became Chief of the Ravens. It was Mabel Williams who adopted me in Skidegate and gave me a name which translates into, 'he paints with his spirit'. So it is that I carry the Raven crest amoung the Haida nation.
These two adoptions bring a descendant of chiefs in a full circle back to his home and roots. The truth of it all is that we are part of our ancestors and we walk with them through this world. I am fortunate to know my paternal ancestors and carry their crests and lineage.
So the Raven People, are part of a sacred circle that continues to be known in this modern day and the many teachings from our ancestors are relevant today as they have always been.
