Dalton James "Hummingbirds I " Print

Native American people believe strongly in the medicine that we get from the animal spirits. The spirit of an animal teaches us lessons about life that we need to learn.

A hummingbird is thought of as a messenger and represents the ability to stop time. They also represent joy and beauty. This powerful image created by Hopi artist Dalton James depicts stylized hummingbirds as they surround a colorful flower in a 10" long x 8" wide matted print.

Dalton James is a self-taught artist from Hopi Pueblo, and is a member of the Tobacco Clan from the village of Hotevilla in northeastern Arizona.
