Loon Stickers
Description: This design literally came to me in a dream. In Lakota stories, the loon helps Wakan Tanka, the Great Spirit create the world because he can dive so deep. Seeing a loon means that the things that you wish for and dream about will come true. It is a symbol of tranquility and serenity, which isn't hard to believe when you're sitting at the edge of a lake in the evening and hear the bloza (loons) call.
Description: The common loon or great northern diver (Gavia immer) is a large member of the loon, or diver, family of birds. Breeding adults have a plumage that includes a broad black head and neck with a greenish, purplish, or bluish sheen, blackish or blackish-grey upperparts, and pure white underparts except some black on the undertail coverts and vent. Non-breeding adults are brownish with a dark neck and head marked with dark grey-brown. Their upperparts are dark brownish-grey with an unclear pattern of squares on the shoulders, and the underparts, lower face, chin, and throat are whitish. The sexes look alike, though males are significantly heavier than females. During the breeding season, loons live on lakes and other waterways in Canada.
