“Although the hawk actually has a dark beak, I made it a little light to emphasize it. This is his totem, from when he went on his vision quest or fasting. Alone for days, with no water or food, perhaps wandering or staying in one place, he would have had just a robe or skin with him, making his bedding with sage and cedar. For some it may take several vision quests or fastings to identify their totem.”
