The Hummingbird's Meaning: Art by Bill Helin

At Sheepskin and Things, we are proud to offer our new collection of Spirit Moccasins, featuring the extraordinary artwork of Tsimshian artist Bill Helin. Each pair is not just a piece of footwear, but a story, a connection to the rich traditions and deep meanings of Indigenous culture. The beautiful hummingbird design burned into the vamp of these moccasins holds a special significance that is both joyful and profound.

In many Indigenous cultures, particularly those of the Northwest Coast, the hummingbird is a cherished and revered symbol. Known for its incredible agility and swiftness, the hummingbird is often seen as a messenger of good news, love, and joy. Its ability to fly backward is believed to teach a powerful lesson: one can look to the past, but one must never dwell there. Instead, the hummingbird encourages us to move forward, to savor every sweet moment, and to appreciate the beauty and wonder of life.

Bill Helin, through his art, captures this spirit perfectly. His work is a tribute to the stories and traditions of the Tsimshian nation, aiming to educate and spiritually connect people. The hummingbird, in his unique style, symbolizes healing in times of sorrow and pain, reminding us of the fragility of nature and the importance of finding happiness and love. When you wear these moccasins, you carry with you not just a piece of fine craftsmanship, but a symbol of healing, joy, and the enduring spirit of Indigenous artistry.

We invite you to experience the beauty and meaning of these moccasins. They are a celebration of comfort, a work of art, and a powerful symbol of positivity and hope.
