Spiny Oyster has been used in Southwest Native American jewelry for hundreds of years. Brought inland by the west coast indigenous people and used as a trade currency.
To the Navajo the Bear is for protection and also considered symbols of leadership & authority. Bears are an important part in Native American Indian culture as various symbols of strength, hard work, and even great love. Many tribes considered the "Great Spirit" to often take on the form of a bear. It would lead hunters on great chases and could die only to be reborn in the spring. Bears were mythical and "magical" creatures that existed.
The Native American Indian, as a whole, is constantly aware of its relationship with Mother Earth and her creatures. The spiritual goal of the Native American is to live in harmony with the universe. A lesson to be learned
